Please note, this is the fourth in the series. I still only provide three new things.

I love learning and realize that, although six degrees of six degrees puts me in the ballpark of ‘knowing’ a lot of things, there is much for me still to discover.

1. Lickable wallpaper is a thing. We recently watched the new release, Wonka, which got me reminiscing about the original movie. That’s when I stumbled upon a post for Lickable wallpaper! I guess I’m not surprised it’s a thing, but still, the idea of licking a strip hung to the wall as a party favor seems, well, very pre-cov, lol. You can buy strips pre-made or make them yourself.
2. Alligators can run nearly twice as fast as humans. And this is why I live in the Midwest where the cold may snatch my breath but doesn’t rip it bloodily from my body. Seriously, though, gators can sprint rapidly, but tire quickly, as do I, so unless you are ridiculously close to one, which I would never be, you’re safe enough. I can’t find the video clip where I learned this, but suffice it to say, the image of that thousand pound dinosaur-looking creature flying across the land with legs rotating like a Scooby-Doo character, even if only for three bodies lengths, resonated with me.
3. Elvis Costello provided backing vocals on Tempted by Squeeze. I never knew that. I love that song! I’ve listened to that song a thousand times plus some (we’re both that old) and never noticed the familiar vocals. Now that I know, I can’t believe I never knew. It’s so obvious! Give it a listen, the people keep on crowding…

I’m not claiming to be smart–or dumb, I’m just sharing things that are new to me.
