Russian language term for spacecraft is “cosmic ship” космический корабль. Made me ponder English language use of “craft.” Used for aircraft, watercraft, & spacecraft, but no terrestrial equivalent. Closest is landing craft but that is referring to arriving from the water. Image by Google Gemini AI

I have been wondering what kind of fork has the most tines. It looks like manure forks out-tine potato forks and hay forks. When they were being hand-forged, I can imagine the person thinking, no, that’s not enough, I gotta add more tines!

As a kid in 1970s my favorite snack was popcorn, but I also really loved Chipos Potato Chips, a General Mills product that sadly did not make it into the 1980s. Sold in foil pouch inside a cardboard carton. I think about them wistfully at least once a year, so fair to say I miss them & their crunch.

The maximum one-way fare on the Washington D.C. Metrorail increased in 2024 to $ 6.75. It is a subway system, not a commuter rail. Shouldn’t they be incentivizing people to take public transportation? I assembled the graphic below.
