Chainsaws?

4 September 2024: I asked my ENGL 101 students if any of them did anything interesting or fun over the Labor Day Weekend. One said she went to Blackwater Falls; another went home "to see my dog." One said, "Well, I did some trainings at work."

"What kind of trainings?" I asked.

"Chainsaws," she said.

Then I remembered she works as a--I think the term is "fright actor"?--at a haunted house. 

Suddenly it made sense, but also opened up a whole new line of questioning.
