The zipper article is oddly fascinating. I wish they'd had photos of garments with the new zipper.

I’m really looking forward to seeing them when they’re in stores

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Today's Spelling Bee is making me feel like I forgot how to use letters. I am stuck on 16 out of 36 words, no pangrams. Come on, brain!

Unrelated, but we are totally caught up on Midnight Burger and Welcome to the Horizon, and all I can say is holy shit, EVIL Leif ?!?!?

Our wings are not tired.

Spelling Bee was more challenging than usual, I thought. I did, however, get Wordle in ONE, which will likely never happen again, although I will change my starter word just in case. Perfect on Strands, Phew! on Connections, but came in under goal on the Letter Box. All in all, I am going to count it as a good brain day. (Bombed on my Hurdle on the last challenge, boo)

Wordle in two for me, Laura. High five! And purple first for Connections, always fun. Spelling Bee is pretty tough, I am currently stalled at 23 with one pangram (I was stoked when I got it and baffled that there is apparently another one…)

Disturbed by the MB whitefont. Expecting to finish season 3 this coming week

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The new zipper YKK just developed has our family all abuzz.

I'm very curious about how it attaches. I'm guessing it's only possible with the specific industrial machine they developed, so not for home projects. edit - Or I could've just watched this video. [link]

S3 has my 2 favorite episodes (Stella Splendens [because I am a romantic sap] and Fangs Out [because it is so goddamn funny from start to finish]). When you get to S4 is when the Welcome to the Horizon series starts, and I will spoil you by saying that it will tie back into Midnight Burger in S5, so you kind of have to listen to WTTH. Plus it's awesome anyway.

Two panagrams? Dang it, guess I’m going back in. The Bee has been a beast this week.

Yeah I got the one pangram first but am baffled there’s a second one.

Ok I used a hint from the hints to find the other one. And now I’m suspecting y’all got that pangram and I had the less common one. Mine started with H.
