As Praying Mantis go, one of them ain’t making it out of the romance alive.
Critters:
The wild kingdom in NEOhio in my husband’s buddy’s backyard. Trap catches the pesky chipmunk and snake says, “Mmmmm! Takeout!” Snake met an untimely end as the buddy was more creeped out by the slitherer and less by the chipmunk. Alvin was set free…

“Teotihuacan Pyramid, Mexico City, 1900 vs 2022.”
As much as I like Viking stuff (my husband has Viking in his bloodline) it’s definitely one of those times I wouldn’t want to live in or even time-travel back to for any length of time…

“In 1964 a group of high school kids skipped class to go see the Beatles. They didn’t get into the concert but while they were driving Ringo pulled up beside them and snapped their picture. Fast forward 50 years and Ringo publishes a book of his photographs and they were in it. The group reunited and recreated the shot half a century later.”
‘Jerry and Judy Griffin met when her car broke down on the way to the legendary Woodstock festival. “In that moment Jerry, who was caravanning to the festival with a group of friends in two VW Beetles, thought his luck had definitely changed for the better. “I thought, ‘Okay, this is definitely unusual. We just picked up this really cute girl. And I’m going to Woodstock and I’ve got a tent and she doesn’t.
“For 50 years we’ve been looking for a picture of ourselves, and out of the blue one shows up,” he says. “We’d known each other less than 48 hours when that was taken.”
The festival was only three days, but the connection between the two lasted much longer ― they’ve been together ever since and now have two sons and five grandchildren.’
