I blame the six or eight tick bites I got on trips to Powell's cave in the
1990s for my alpha-gal mammal-meat allergy that surfaced around 1997 or
1998. Careful in that area!

Someone had some of that glow-in-the-dark rope from Harbor Freight out at
the Kerrville Folk Festival last year. It looked great for the first few
days, but then basically stopped glowing much at all. It was outside exposed
to the sun being used to hold down tents and shade canopies.
