Don't you see the ships a-coming with the prizes at their tail?

Courtesy of my friendlist: "Ever Given container ship finally freed." As muccamukk observes, "Two hundred years later, we're all waiting around for the full (or new!) moon to fix our problems. Technology!"

My niece is feeling self-conscious about the glasses she has to wear for computer time, since thanks to remote learning computer time is now the majority of her days; they are not prescription but blue-light filters and she thinks they make her look ridiculous. They don't, of course, but more importantly I told her they were like welding goggles—eye protection—and she seems more reconciled to the idea. I wish she were old enough for me to show her the 2016 Ghostbusters. I feel Holtzmann would be encouraging.

I never remember any of my household lingo when asked for the purposes of meme, but in response to a question with no obvious answer, I just called reflexively, "Maybe she just snapped out!" Thanks, my grandparents and Shelley Berman.

Whatever child suggested "they should just raise the water level in the canal" clearly wins, even if they had their canals mixed up.

I missed that at the time! Totally.

Of the child suggestions I saw, my favorite was the one who suggested attaching a cable and having a million people pull on it. I liked the idea of that many people cooperating. Only a small fraction of the people that were thinking of the situation at any one time, though.
