USA is, in 2018, at ~$10,000 per capita for ~79 years life expectancy. Other first World countries are clustered, all over 81 years, and all under $7,000, with the median being around 82 years, $4,000.

@ginamai.bsky.social is getting ready for this weekend and Sparkle Mart, Greenbelt's annual holiday craft fair. Look at the latest batch of handmade octopuses! No two are alike!

A table with ceramic octopuses, all different colors and poses, end of sculpture of a woman, whose head disappears above the picture frame. Behind the table is a wire shelf with bowls, small sculptures of heads, and a tea set.

Remember The Electric Company?

A Venn diagram showing the intersections of three circles, labeled "wacky hijinks," "stuck in one place" (Gilligan's Island); "wacky hijinks," "nothing happens" (Seinfeld); "stuck in one place," "nothing happens" (No Exit). In the middle, the intersection of Seinfeld, Gilligan's Island, No Exit, is Love of Chair.

I haz a game, but apparently it is sold out for the nonce. Amazon claims to have it, and some of your local game shops might. I hope you can find it. In the meanwhile, enjoy this picture from Essen Spiel. It's cooperative poker, and it's fun!
