The driving video made me laugh because my first thought was, "I'd be terrified, too, driving in the wrong lane!" Oh, wait, that's how it's done over there. Great lighthearted post of an evening in Central Texas.
My solution to Rebecca's puzzle. Take off the last letter of each word, and what's left is a palindrome? Maybe?
Milligan's practical statement, "If you don’t make a plan, the plan can’t go wrong." is akin to Alexander Pope's "Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” As for me, I always used to believe that "If you don't know where you are going, you will never get there." But since I became a writer of fiction, I have found that to be absolutely untrue.
Regarding the video, Elaine was VERY hungry indeed. She needs to have her blood sugar checked... ha ha ha
Yes, regarding fiction. Usually, I begin a story with one sentence and have no idea at all where it is going. The characters reveal themselves to me, the setting comes and then I just wait to see what happens. As Chief Dan George said ( in Little Big Man), “Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn’t…”
Regarding Rebecca's puzzle, I have it: Take off the last letter, and place it at the front of the word. Then read the word backward. Works on each word.

It might help you to know that "ananas" is the French word for "pineapple".
Oh thank you. I'm afraid I'm still in the dark though
Haha, very good Terry. The real terror for me wasn't the speed. It was driving in that lane :)
Lol

Puzzle: thanks, though I can't see that.
Pope: chortle!
Fiction: there's something to be said for letting it flow to see where it takes you. Is that what you mean?
Blood sugar: 🤣🤣

Amazing. I've heard other writers say the same. I experience something similar sometimes when I write my EiS posts.

Gosh, how did you manage to spot that? Well done
Been honing my word-skills playing Wordle and Waffle every morning. It is what some old people do. Here’s the waffle, FYI https://wafflegame.net
“Creative rotting course” Brilliant !
🤣
Does she scream "Bonzi" while she is driving.
🤣 So you've seen her then!
God knows, Bryn! Lol. Rebecca will enlighten us, hopefully. What made you think "crown"?
Is the answer “crown”? 🤓 (I had nothing better to do.)
