Ear. Eerie.

Those phones are ringing, but no one is near them.

No, that's normal for phones.

What's eerie is that we know the planet is deserted except for you and me, and yet those phones are ringing. Oh, probably an auto-dialer someone left on.

Yeah. That's probably it. Impressive that they still have juice.

Well, sometimes batteries don't die. Not like all the humans do.

OOOoooo. Eerie.

Lake Erie. The Erie Canal. Eerie. Ear canal. Weird that there's an Ear Canal and an Erie Canal, but no eerie canal.

I mean, that fact about canals is kind of eerie. So it's the eerie canal fact.

Oh. Spooky. I agree. We should spend more time, not less, talking about canals. But don't-

I wouldn't. No one wants to hear about the Panama Canal.

Ugh. You still said it.

Well-

Listen, let's just talk about the Lake Washington Ship Canal. And the Ballard Locks.

Oh that's good. I don't hear enough about lox.

Locks.

Lox.

Hair locks

Who has salmon in their hair?

No, that's what I mean.

You mean locks of hair? But then how do the salmon get through to the other side?

They- what? They don't.

Um, a major feature of the Ballard Locks is the part that lets the salmon through.

Oh. That's correct.
