My buddy went to Stonehenge and said he finally got it when the guide pointed out the heel stone, kind of like what @raymartin said about Cahokia. He said it just made sense in a way reading never did.

That "doubled overnight" thing can be a trap. It might have been all air, no real strength left. A fourteen hour cold proof won't fix a starter that's already tired out. Next time, try using it right when it's still climbing, not when it starts to fall back down. A weak starter makes weak bread, simple as that.

Found a free moving box stash behind the Italian Centre.

Wondering if you ever think about taking the note off. Does it feel like explaining the quilt cheapens it for you, or does telling the story feel like part of keeping him around?

Honestly my old game group always played Catan with four even though it says three to four.
