Not exactly sure.
I did get a mean look from my wife one time when she smiled and announced like 10 and I looked and said. Good Lord! I showed her that she had like 24. I was more saying that as she was shooting ahead with me being honest.

It's tough teaching your spouse to play cribbage. When I taught Lew, he loved trying to draw for inside straights on runs, double runs, etc. I ended up teaching him strategy. Now we play so much alike it's all a matter of luck of the deal rather than player skill. :D

I told her good cribbage players cheat so counting quick is crucial.

Coming back from Menards saw a tanker truck that lost its tanker. Looked like the front of the tank was resting on the rear wheels of the truck, so it was completely on the ground. Wonder how that went.

Chair dropped into the video room for the third class.
I didn't say anything because I figured that wasn't the deal. Of course, now I'll wonder for a while what was going on.

He got to hear a lively discussion, even with an online lecture period. That class is a lot of fun.
Since you injured my daughter I told Doctor (thinks of history sounding name quickly) Britannica to spy on your class.

By the way, my daughter does not find it interesting that they are still using the same A.P. U.S. History book that I used in high school. I think that it makes her feel like a boomer.

Went down a rabbit hole looking for a yield monitor part and ended up watching 20 minutes of "Keith Stone" commercials. Well, that was a non productive time.

There are a lot of farm kids who are driving vehicles a lot bigger than a 2000 lb. passenger vehicle long before it is time to get a license.

Mom drove the tractor at 12. Granted, that was 1959. I was driving the lawn mower at 12.

Speaking of driving...

Husband wasn't 3 blocks from our complex when a teenager pulled out from his left hand side into his lane. (Two lanes going each way, split by a median, husband was in the right lane) Didn't hit her, but had to ditch into a fairly solid snowbank to keep from doing so. Pulled off into a parking lot, I guess the car looks okay? (He left me a VM, and it cut off at the end) Husband's fairly unflappable, but even he had to take a moment to collect himself. He even thought about calling off from work. So here's hoping the car is okay.

And, Wordle in three again...
