At around 13, with no experience outside knowing how to ride a bike, attempted a 6 foot BMX bike jump, the kind with a near-verticle lip. After two bailed attempts, I committed to MORE SPEED on the third try. I went straight up, couldn’t position the bike forward, and fell directly backward onto my unhelmeted head and back onto packed dirt and gravel. Always kind of felt dumber, slower after that day
There was a really good video clip of a protestor in 2020, paraphrased: “we came out to protest, then the cops started hitting our heads with batons. we started wearing helmets, so they gassed us. We started bringing masks, so they attack us. Now we bring shields and they call them weapons. Someone is escalating this, but it’s not us”.

When my wyze vacuum starts up, it loudly robotically says “starting cleaning” and wherever my dog is in the house, she flings herself directly at the vacuum in a frothing rage and follows it around the house trying to bite its spinning brush for corners. Whenever I say “starting cleaning”, my dog goes for the vacuum too

Dr bronners soaps, change scent seasonally. Arm & Hammer deodorant, think it’s lavender scented. Kinda burns my armpits at times, but I’m not going to be one of those “I don’t wear deodorant but I don’t stink” people who actually is very stinky
I don’t suppose that’s a body of water there in the missing space?
