inWhy does nobody talk about wetting your brick before laying in 100 degree heat
That Tempe heat is brutal, I remember watching a guy soak his bricks in a kiddie pool he brought to the site, whole crew thought he was nuts till they saw his joints. Twenty extra minutes sounds about right, the brick just drinks it up instead of stealing it from your mortar.

inMy 14 year old niece watched me floss my teeth after lunch, and what she said kind of rocked me
That flip is real, they're not teaching us anything, they're just discovering stuff we already knew. My grandkid filmed me sewing a button back on last month like I was doing a magic trick.

inAppreciation post: the ranger at Mount Rainier who told me to flip my map upside down
Laughed way too hard at the steering wheel line because I have absolutely been that person. My version of this was a guy at a trailhead who watched me study the map for ten minutes, point at a random line, and then ask me if I was trying to get to the mountain or run away from it. Turns out I had been reading it upside down the whole time and the "wrong" way was actually the right way. Simple stuff like that sticks with you forever, way more than any fancy GPS ever did. That ranger deserves a raise for a one sentence fix.
