Yeah, this is a very good point. In all seriousness, have spoken to a few friends and co-workers who have lamented about a lack of "real" things to do. Having a hobby (if you want to call it that) like model trains or some other interest that you can do indoors is a genuine blessing.
My father always said, "everyone should have a hobby." In other words, something to let you use your mind, hands, and creativity to occupy some of your time and provide a brief escape from all that other stuff.
Amen.
