Okay, a little mystery also for today. After the Toxic Club, my
brother and I got a strawberry limeade at a little drive inn, and drove around this Conservation Area, but then we start seeing this fence with these signs, it's like 8 foot tall with lots of the fence totally blacked out, and these signs placed on them that say:

Saline Valley Ranch, No Hunting, No Trespassing

This fence went for miles, and miles had to be incredibly pricey to put in, it reminded me of the fence they'd have at a minimum security prison, but we didn't see cows, horses, crops, nothing but woods and hills and miles and miles of giant fence.

We try to find information about what it is, but there's basically nothing. My husband looks it up on Google Earth, and finds Little Saline Ranch, and I look it up, and it says permanently closed, and even less information is available about that. Google Earth shows lots of wooded land, a lake, and a few open fields, but we couldn't see any buildings or animals, nothing like that.

So, looking up that I find this article about mysterious happenings in the area:

https://www.cjonline.com/story/news/local/2018/10/31/hunting-ghosts-miller-county-other/9408986007

It mentions several people seeing a Bigfoot type cryptid in the area, so obviously the fence is to keep it in. My other guesses involve a government blacksite, as it isn't too far from and airforce base, or a doomsday cult, what do you all think?

@RickiTarr cracked me up! She touts a single Swiss Army Spurtle in part because it will replace a draw-full of kitchen implements and assorted clutter. She then goes on to throw in a mini Spurtle, Spurtle tongs and lawn mower-Spurtle in the kind of bargain offer which will probably break the same drawer.

@RickiTarr interesting about how memory for faces declines after 30. It reminded me of reading about who are used by the police to identify face in crowds. You can test your own powers of memory and recognition here. It takes five minutes.

This made me laugh, but I also have to say, I'm literally never sorry that I took pictures of my food either. I look back at something I made/ate a year ago or whenever, and it reminds me of what I was up to then, like a little sensory memory trigger.

I had to pull a few strings to get into the archery club.

They usually serve a spicy salad for lunch, but I didn't habanero.

They had cheeses there so some people would just shoot the Bries.

Turns out I’m not very good at archery, but I aim to get better.

I turned down the offer to try blindfolded archery. They said “You don’t know what I’m missing.”

They had a class on better projectile performance with improved arrow dynamics.

I didn’t stay long though. I felt there were too many drawbacks.

And to anyone making fun of archery? You can’t try it until you nock it.

@dgar I don’t know what you’re talking about. Archery is a small fruit we like to share but you only get tiny portions.
