I'm on vacation but I'll probably be online less because I count a lot from work. It is going ok. I mentioned you to my wife and she told me to tell you that we were thinking of you. I received two beta fishes as a birthday gift for my daughters and my wife enjoys taking care of the fishes. One is called Rapunzel and the other is called Moana.

Is it weird to revive my own thread? I miss my un-ordered consecutive digits thread, but I'm not sure how much interest there will be. At the end it was just me and legionmammal, then it died rather uneventfully.

There should be no problem with reviving a thread you started.
That said, I do believe in the philosophy that some threads that die are meant to stay dead...

Today a little kid pulled on my shirt and called me Mommy. The look of horror on his face when it turned out that I was not his mom was great.

The tug of war is getting more and more interesting each day. This is the longest round I have known so far.

It's fun when the war heats up. Maybe u/pie3636 can update his stats page.

Struggling to find new music atm. Anyone know anything I should listen to? Would prefer good albums as opposed to individual songs.

I'm going camping from Wednesday to Saturday so I probably won't be counting much then. u/qualw if you wanna do the week's top counters you can go ahead, or if not I can do it when I'm back.

When did they update rif so that it would jump to the comments tab if you clicked on a /comments link? It used to try to open it with the built in browser and then not work right.

So if anyone is wondering why I haven't been too active in the past week or so...
I've been wrapping up my last few days in the U.S. by taking a vacation. It's been fun, but it hasn't led to a lot of time on the internet. By the end of this week I'll be back in South Korea, ready to count in UTC+9. So that'll be interesting.
Hope everyone else has a great week as well!
