Ponchos - A poncho that turns into a fan would be great during really hot summers.

No Margin for Error - Terrifying! But during the Great Depression, people would’ve been willing to do risky jobs for money.

Springbok, The Show-off Of The Savanna - If the Springbok ever learns how to fly, they’ll be able to show off all over the world!

Those Springbok are such show offs but their racing stripes are cool 😜

It’s always a pleasure to hear from Jude. Springbok (Springboks?) are such beautiful animals. Your 1,000 foot leash comment above gave me a good laugh!

I liked ponchos in Boy Scouts. Never enough to invest in one in adulthood, however. You can have water protection, or you can have coolness, but not both.

I have no clue what was going on in that old photo, but your story is probably way too close to reality. <shudder>

Your springbok story was delightful! Especially with the pranking video! 💚

One of those extender leashes that retract, at the least.

Love your piece on Springboks. I want one for a pet. Watching the video, I imagined what it would be like taking it for a walk.
