A seventy-year-old man came to visit. At some point I picked up my cat and cradled her in my arms. I told him: “She’s very friendly. Would you like to hold her?”
He said yes, and did so. And we carried on with our conversation.
After some time he put her down and said, “That was nice. I’ve never held a cat before.”
Ridge lines and volleyball nets are great, sure. But the real benefit of knowing knots is when you have to tie 4 bags to your single rollerboard so your shoulders can rest while you’re in a 45 minute long line.

When I was running a camping trip this summer there were (another) 4 10 year olds who climbed up on a rock and sang the Lion King song
There is a picture from before the digital camera days of me and one of my best friends (both 10) waltzing while the other kids look on laughing because we a) thought it would be funny and b) we were FRIENDS who liked each other.
I love it when 10 yr old boys can be 10 yr old boys and not have to be 16 year old boys.
This picture is hilarious because the words “Meat ball” were transliterated into Arabic. The resulting Arabic words (ميت بول) were then interpreted (incorrectly) as Arabic, THEN translated into English. The first word “Meat” can be misread as the Arabic word for “is dead”. The second word “ball” is how an Arabic speaker would pronounce the name “Paul.” Therefore, the English description of this dish is “Paul is dead.”
A friend (like a daughter to me) is being stalked. The guy has an uncanny ability of knowing where she is. We’re trying to figure out how.
Tech folks: Any recommendations on a good AirTag tracker? (She has an iPhone)
Women: Any ideas/suggestions/relevant experience?
There seems to be a consistent 120 second delay before he gets to where she is. Too consistent to be a coincidence. Cell carrier perhaps? Private Investigator?
