A Piper Cost=Pay the Piper

White Rumped Sand Piper display “… and the fish was this big”.

Note the following in regards to a notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site: 

• Keith Piper (18 December 1969 – 9 June 2026)cricketer (Warwickshire) ( announced)
• Beppe Costa (25 August 1941 – 10 June 2026)Italian writer

Both of their surnames jive in that we get a cryptic “a piper cost” that’s another way of saying “pay the piper.  Note the following: 

The idiom "pay the piper" means to face the inevitable consequences of your actions, especially after a period of self-indulgence or avoiding responsibility. It signifies that you must finally "pay" for your past decisions or enjoyments

AND, their birthdays are additions to the “Targetting Family birthdays” pattern cluster, given that  December 18th is the birthday of my older sister and August 25 the birthday of my granddaughter. Of course there’s a reason for this— there’s something about the two that offer up more towards the communication, and I know precisely what that is!! 

Another notable person also recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in2026 site stands out:

John Sanders (1943 – June 10, 2026) sports broadcaster (Pittsburgh Pirates, Cleveland Indians)
