Games and Puzzles
Here is that puluc game, a traditional game from Guatemala.
It is a bad game unfortunately. This is a good implementation.
It is very easy to make. The popsicle sticks are not normal
popsicle sticks; they are wider. These sticks are not hard to
find.
Chase the Base and COLOUR dice are in the aptly named
Half Baked Games section of the Games page. Chase the Base would be most
appropriate for providing entertainment during your lockdown, especially with kids.
Letter Treasure has been removed. You can see the messy mess
here.
At least let's make a record of what was appealing about it. After achieving something you
have the opportunity to dig for pirate's
treasure, you look in one of a number of places, more or less random, to see if
you won the treasure. The co-operative trading and the easy construction of letter cards are
also nice.
Wouldn't it be neat if you owned the game company that produced the neat games?
A mix of games you like, games that tickle you,
games that are highly regarded by the the right
crowd, and games that are commercially successful. Those are the games that are in your tent.

One of those unusual maps, on reddit. Posted because of that article on

Canadian prairie provinces.

Tomahawk chips
This is a master class in branding.
I'm charmed by these, and I'm giving them to various people
as extras for Christmas. Makes sense to me. They are made in nearby
Riverton Manitoba, which I'd never heard of until I read a
potato chip bag. It's an aboriginal business. They taste good,
at least the salt and vinegar, and I percieve perceive it to be
better than other brands. It does not cost extra.
But above all it's the look of those bags. This helps to
make it gift worthy.
Update: People definitely like the taste of these.

Donald Trump is a narcissist. During Christmas I heard about the destruction caused
by a narcissist lady, or at least mentally messed up and toxic lady married to a relative
