#whoknew — Public Fediverse posts

@ai6yr @user47 And idiot me found a sapling growing in the garden, dug it up, planted it thinking how big could it possibly get. Within 8 years it was taller than my 3-story house. Turns out it's a cottonwood hybrid. If I'd known it was going to grow that big, I certainly would not have planted it where I did. My entire garden is in shade every afternoon. 🙄 #WhoKnew?

Today, I received a phone book with my mail. A hard copy. Yellow pages and all.

I wasn't even aware that was still a thing.

#WhoKnew about this truly #insane #unreal #enduranceFlying #worldrecord ? I was surprised it was longer than a few days. But #twoMonths ?!?

#JustWow that the #airplane did not overheat and the engine did not seize up and they were able to tolerate each other's company for that long #uninterrupted in that #veryLoud, tiny environment.
