I can't find my handkerchief that I use to clean my glasses. I hate dirty lenses and my handkerchief is a comfort item. I don't like not having it. And now I will obsess about my missing handkerchief.

Empathy about the handkerchief. I have a microfibre cloth I got in 2012 that works so well and if I ever misplace it I lose my fucking mind.

Anecdote: I went to a rural village fair today and was looking at the antique tractors. My spouse remarked in one of the vehicles, "Is that military?" I look up and without thinking I say, almost automatically, "yes it's a howitzer" and go back to paying attention to whatever it was I was paying attention to. A moment later I'm like, "how the fuck do I know that? Oh yes the autism" (this is a joke)

Anyways, I know we use sonic the hedgehog as a "prerequisite" but we really ought to expand that to what sometimes feels like a collective unconscious encyclopedic knowledge of military hardware. When I made that comment, in jest, to my spouse he got a little defensive and said we needed to add Greek/Roman mythology and history too. I guess he felt left out 😅
