Imaginary playmates common in young children
Dear Dr Brothers explains that a four year old’s make believe friend is typical and usually harmless. Studies show imaginary companions occur in about 13 to 31 percent of children, often lasting a few years and reflecting needs or traits the child seeks. Reassure parents and note the companion typically fades as real friends appear in school. The article also mentions a 366.6 foot redwood named The Howard Libby Tree as a factual aside.

Denim has history in ships and sailors
Denim, widely worn in fall and winter fashion, arrived with Columbus era ships and was used for sails. The Denim Council of the USA traces the term jeans to Genoa sailors, dhun garee to Dhun garee in India, and denim to sergé de Nimes in France, later slurred to denim.
