What goes in the X? A chocolate chip or a Red Hot?
Large diameter wheels are very good on poorly maintained sidewalks. As are rubber tires.Strollers would become heavy, awkward to store, and less useful for their intended purpose?
I suppose you could try to put something in there, but you'd prolly lose an eye and require several thousand stitches...

Happy Alien Invasion Day
Did he come here for coffee? Or is he offering us coffee? Like Prometheus.
"Shot the moon" four times in a row.
Several times.
Back in the day.

Where did I put my dentures?
And if you know what "shot the moon" means, that's probably evidence enough.
do I want to know?
Try playing Hearts.
Locally we call the move "bolo head".
As in bald head, meaning you scalped everybody.
so its a gambling reference, OK.

Hearts isn't traditionally a gambling game, though I'm sure people do gamble on it.
It's like golf, where low score wins. You get one point for every heart you take, plus 13 for the queen of spades. If you take all of the hearts and the queen of spades, everyone else in the game gets 26 points and you get zero. It's called shooting the moon.
I played a lot of hearts in my misspent youth, much of it against my mom, who could count cards with no effort. When we played the last round of cards in the hand, she almost invariably knew what card each of us was holding. We didn't keep score, it was easier on our egos that way.
It's a coup one can pull off in a card game called hearts. There's a big risk in trying it, and a big payoff if successful.
Not really. There's usually no money at stake, just the satisfaction of winning. At least, that's how it is whenever I've played it.
(OK, I've been well and truly ninjad.)
This would work, though I've never played for money: each player pays into the pot at the end of each hand, a fixed amount per point. The winner takes the pot. That way, the better you do the less you loose if you're not the winner.
I was in a group of six friends who could usually round up four for hearts and/or spades of an evening. We tried bridge but never got into it. Pinochle now and then. Then five of us got more into AD&D and cards fell by the wayside.I played a lot of hearts in my misspent youth, much of it against my mom, who could count cards with no effort.

This was back in the day when it was actually easy to find things in Windoze. The Settings menu even made sense.

Ohhhhh I cant resist....Call me old fashioned.
True story,
One Thanksgiving many years ago I placed an online order for a Turkey lunch plate for pickup at a local drive in.
In and out, no lines, easy peasy.
About 3 or 4 years later did the same.
Long line, half an hour to get to the pickup window.
Meanwhile the walk up ordering window was empty.
How times have changed.
So, what youre saying' is that "it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago on
Thanksgiving,"
24 years ago my wife and I went up to Massachusetts to see Arlo perform in the decommissioned church where Alice had previously lived, about a week or two before Thanksgiving. My daughter was one at the time, and ate her first non-sauced apple on that trip. First apple in the Berkshires in the Fall was a very good time for her.
Alice died very recently.
