(5:09:34 PM) Merrill: I just met my soul mate.
(5:09:41 PM) Merrill: And let him walk away.
(5:09:44 PM) Kyle: really? :D
(5:09:48 PM) Kyle: what D:
(5:09:49 PM) Merrill: No, probably not.
(5:10:46 PM) Kyle: tell me more D:
(5:11:10 PM) Merrill: I wanted to hear Life Less Ordinary, so I pulled it up just as I was getting off the bus. As I got off, somebody was walking in my direction listening to music.
(5:11:35 PM) Merrill: I decided, because he appeared right as the song started, that he must be my soul mate.
(5:12:01 PM) Merrill: I'm a much faster walker than he, but he caught up to me at a stop light, and we stood there for a bit, then we both crossed and he kept on walking my direction.
(5:13:12 PM) Merrill: I was going way faster, but I kinda wanted to inspect him more, so I found causes to dawdle, including checking out a cut rusty lock.
(5:13:26 PM) Merrill: And when I was, he approached me as asked whether I was going to Plug and Play Center.
(5:13:46 PM) Merrill: So we talked a little, he said he was going to a conference there for alumni from...wherever.
(5:13:53 PM) Merrill: It's right across the street from me.
(5:14:05 PM) Merrill: And then he actually invited me there.
(5:14:13 PM) Merrill: "You could probably come check it out if you'd like."
(5:14:22 PM) Merrill: And then he crossed the street, and I entered the complex.
(5:15:04 PM) Merrill: So that's the entire story.
(5:09:41 PM) Merrill: And let him walk away.
(5:09:44 PM) Kyle: really? :D
(5:09:48 PM) Kyle: what D:

Additionally:
(6:49:30 PM) Merrill: A friend and you are out for a run in the woods. While you run, a bear notices you and begins to chase after you. You begin 20 feet behind your friend, who is running 7 miles per hour. The bear, beginning at rest, 80 feet behind you, requires 3 seconds to warm up to full speed of 12 miles per hour. Once at full speed, the bear will make a bear call, which, 2 feet ahead of you, will be within earshot of the Robot Bear, who is 140 miles off the trail perpendicularly from where it can begin to hear the bear. If the Robo Bear can jetblast at 500 mph, how fast must you run to stay alive?
(6:56:04 PM) Kyle: is the Robo Bear my friend?
(6:56:21 PM) Merrill: ...
(6:56:40 PM) Merrill: Yes. :)
(6:56:04 PM) Kyle: is the Robo Bear my friend?
(6:56:21 PM) Merrill: ...
(6:56:40 PM) Merrill: Yes. :)
