Ordinary Bill by William Wilson for September 25, 2024

Also: Bill, you should know better..

The smell of low tide? My fisherman grandfather always said that when most people say the “smell of the ocean”, that’s what it actually is.

I’m thinking Bill got what he deserved for that…

When I was in middle school I went to a big sleepover at a friend in the country’s house. I arrived early and we played outside waiting for the rest. The friend had a play a game called, “Throw the farm cats into the big plastic pool and watch them swim out”. It felt really wrong when I threw my cat in, sort of vowed then and there to never give in to peer pressure again, and the cat scratched my arm pretty bad. Which I thought I deserved. Trying to think of some way to stop the game, I asked, “Why don’t we throw the dogs in?” (They had two yorkies) The friend looked at me like I was stupid and said, “The dogs can’t swim,”.

I was laughing so hard I got tears in my eyes. :)

That doesn’t seem quite like Bill. Making a feline furious when you’re all but naked is pretty risky, in any case.

How would they know it was a tiger attack if they never found the body?
