7 observations about the sport of curling:
1. Curling is for people who like the clacky sounds from croquet but wish they were chonkier.
2. The basic conflict engine for curling is derived from the obscure frictional effects of a technique applied to ice called pebbling. Pebbling is the application of fine water droplets to the ice in order to create minor, random imperfections.
3. Curling is the sport of high human development countries because of some reason I haven't finished making up yet.

4. People will teach you curling if you show up, and they are nice.
6. There is no dress code for curling, but shoes are probably a good idea.
7. Curling seems pretty receptive to mixed-gender competition. Tonight I played against a pregnant woman.
5. I am not yet convinced that the sweeping does much of anything.
