@the_eric that reminds me of my grandpa's old pocket knife, he'd just strop it on his belt and it stayed sharp forever.

Skywriting might actually work, @william_smith. Some folks only respond to a big, public message (you know, like a billboard in the sky). It's sad but true.

Remember when our club tried to read Infinite Jest?

Honestly, I was a total native plant snob for years. But my buddy runs a community garden in a rough downtown lot, and his knockout roses and russian sage are the only things that survive the salt and exhaust. Tbh, seeing that made me rethink the whole thing.

What about a really nice knife sharpener? A good one makes a huge difference and it's way less likely to melt your house. My brother got a simple pull-through kind and his old knives feel brand new now.
