Bob and Ann were on horses, the boy on a pony.<br/><br/>As they got to the middle, a strong current hit them and started to wash the pony down the river.<br/><br/>Bob threw the end of a rope to his wife and yelled, &#34;Ann, tie his to mine!&#34;, thereby saving their boy and inventing a medical term at the same time. 2026-08-31T01:35:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrnumjnzusgpnjzdu977m3pv9ae7wymteym6gdyfn5mjkqjhqh2eszyqxcug7qq67nugg7ufe99ljfjjjpscvgx3f6zk9xqywdres3dz6vyr0clav #ScribesAndMakers Aug 29: At age 11, our TTMD guest answered &#39;What do you want to be when you grow up?&#39; with &#39;Author.&#39; Do you know what you wanted to be at 11?<br/><br/>Not particularly.

A red-vented bulbul photographed sitting on top of a cement wall. The bird&#39;s head, beak and eyes are in focus. The head is dark, the neck fades down to a pattern of dark and white that fades further down to finish with white feathers. Under its bill is a dusting of what looks like yellow pollen. The bird looks a little fierce for a small bird!<br/>Photograph copyright 2026 David W.
