Welcome in to another episode of Diawa Money.
Diawa Money. Not a whole lot in my world.
No, that's not not no. There's something going on in your world. You have the most interesting life of any person I've ever met. There's something going on in your life. The mysterious life of Allie Howard. What is going on in your life?
Well, I talked last week about going to Colorado soon. Yeah. So they already know about that.
That's true.
And I haven't gone yet, so I can't report on it.
Oh my gosh, Allie. There's something happening in your life right now.
My plants are still getting close to blooming. I talked about that last week. Week to week I I haven't had a ton. I did let's see. Last week or two weeks ago I got my kayaks out for the first time on Jacobson Park. Did I talk about that on the pod? I think we talked about it.
You said you were going to and I was very concerned that you were gonna try. So yes, Allie got kayaks from like a homeless person on the side of the road or something. Fair enough. Fair enough. But you were like v severely concerned that these were gonna have holes in 'em.
I was not severely concerned, but I was concerned. I was not worried, but I was wondering, if you will.
So you literally say that like you have nothing going on in your life but you got kayaks from a homeless person, you put them on a lake, you did this stuff.
Sure, if you're gonna twist it to be dramatic, yeah. Those things are all true. No, it went really well. The weather was beautiful and I discovered if you're in like the Lexington area, Jacobson Park is here and it has a pretty large To be honest, I don't know when a l when does a pond become a lake. Is that a lake or a pond?
That's a pond for sure, but they call it a lake, I think.
What's the difference? Size.
Technically like technically like uh th I grew up on a quote unquote lake, but it was like five acres. Like it was not a big it was a pond.
So how many acres before it's a lake?
I don't A pond is generally considered a lake when it exceeds about twenty acres in surface area or twenty feet in depth, though other ecological and physical factors also play a role. I'm smart.
Okay. Well anyway, the lake, if you will, they have like a nice little boat ramp. So you can load like drive up, unload the kayaks, park your car, nice put the kayaks in the water. It was so easy. Nice. And there's not very many people out there except when we went, we were out there for maybe an hour or two. This was on a Saturday morning or like late morning. And then this sailboat class rolled in.
How does Aura protect your personal data and what services does it bundle?
I've never in my life A sailboat class. Yeah. I don't know else to put it. So you have like these um small sailboats, but sailboats nonetheless, like let me reiterate, boat with sail. Like that is that is the controls. Nice. And there are all these kids and this instructor's just dramatically kayaking around them, yelling at them to do certain things different.
