A monkey just proved memory is not just a human trait, and it almost feels unbelievable. After nearly 20 years, Tara, the monkey from Pirates of the Caribbean, reunited with Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush with no confusion or hesitation, just a warm hug as if no time had passed. During filming, Tara was not just a background animal but an active presence, moving through the set, observing everything, and forming quiet connections. While actors spend months working together, animals experience it differently, responding to energy, tone, and body language in ways that leave lasting impressions. Primates like monkeys have remarkably strong memory systems, with studies showing they can recognize individuals even after long periods, especially when emotional bonds are involved. When Tara saw familiar faces again, her response was immediate because that recognition had been stored deeply over time. This moment carried even more meaning as Tara had recently retired, making the reunion feel less like a new meeting and more like a continuation of something never truly lost. That simple hug expressed more than words ever could. Moments like this show that true connections are not easily erased by time, but instead remain quietly until they resurface again. It seems that loyalty does not rely on words, but on lasting memory.

Another great weekend of fair has wrapped up. I was Blessed to meet so many great people. Nice folks from all walks of life who all come together to get away from their normal daily routines and escape reality for a little while. it was so nice to see so many people smiling and happy with my work. I spent several hours doing custom work helping people's ideas come to reality. I made some products that I had never made before. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello and to those who picked up a few things. you all made this ol pirate very happy.
