How does a Syrian black bear get adopted in Iran by the 2nd Polish Army Corps during World War II, serve as a registered private with the 22nd Artillery Supply Company traveling through Iraq, Palestine, and Egypt, drink coffee, beer and smoke cigarettes with the troops, fight alongside the British Eighth Army during the Battle of Monte Cassino in 1944 by carrying 100-pound crates of 25-pound artillery shells on the battlefield, get officially promoted to corporal in the Polish army, then live out the rest of his life comfortably in Scotland at the Edinburgh Zoo, and have bronze statue erect

Nestled high in the Dachstein Alps and dating back a mere 7,000 years, the picturesque Austrian village of Hallstatt is a unique place to live and to visit. From the distinctive 16th-century houses, to the ancient Salzwelten salt mine, to the funicular cable car ride to the Hallstatt Skywalk, this UNESCO World Heritage site is quite a place to visit. So much so, that during the tourist season visitors far outnumber the 800 village residents. As the beautifully detailed manhole cover says, “Take Care Of What You Love.”

Well, here’s one solution for those countless shoeboxes full of marbles you found in grandpa’s attic. A little hot glue. A few large garden vases. Martha Stewart would be proud of you!

There are several rules particular to Pickleball — the double-bounce on serves and returns… no hitting the ball out of the air while standing in the kitchen, just to name two. But a little-known rule is: during a match at sunset, you must focus the ball toward the sun to create crepuscular rays through the pickle hole before serving.

Hey, come and get it! Picnic lunch is served -- burgers, hot dogs, and potato salad are out on the table! And... who brought the spikey pickle? Strange... it wasn't here a minute ago... Anyone? What, it didn’t just fly here, did it?!

That traditional iron gate will be much more interesting if it were bent into a Round, now wouldn’t it?

First, I ate a whole seven-layered Nachos Grandes platter, and then snacked on a sea of crispy-crunchy Chicharrones, and then… I was abducted by a swirly-twirly spaceship.

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
We frolicked about in our summer skin

I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor Day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin

On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin.

Apparently there is a game afoot. You have a nerf ball and a toilet paper roll. The rules are yours, Daphne, so what do we do now? Is this a game of “Catch The Ball In The Roll”? …Do we battle for it? …Staring contest?
