#TIL: The National Senior Games are in Tulsa next summer. You only have to be 50 to participate. The Georgia games to qualify are in September, and I've already convinced my coffee guys (I think) to sign up.

(Ich folge einer leftist Farmerin in Illinois. Man kann so viel lernen! 🤓
Sie hatte 9 schwarze Enten, von denen aber 8 „drakes“ waren, sodass sie 6 von ihnen abgeben musste, um die einzige „hen“ zu schützen. Hm weibliche Ente auf Deutsch heißt einfach „Ente“? Muss nachschauen.)
