I had to read that twice-thought it said Robin Williams
I'm sure glad that I didn't have to answer a skill testing question on who Robbie Williams was.

Yeah I saw that at $100.00 ea I have tons of that stuff lying around I grew up w/horses.The old man was a horse freak he raised em all. Who knows, when (not if ) IT hits the fan it all might come in handy

Pepper, your pups ever do that?

Wow! Takes a good pup not to hurt it.
Max did lift and drop a small Warbler once on the deck.
But he has that pry drive rearing up, ever once in awhile.
Has done a few runs at the chickens.
I think it’s more a game, than a harm thing.

 

[WHADIFIND]

I wrote something to that effect-then deleted it.
How many frigging times has something just stopped working for no reason just past the warranty!

That is called....."Planned Obsolescence" 🎓

Jim,
He's not that well known on this side of the pond. He did 3 concerts back to back at Knebworth with 125,000 each time. He's worth 300 million so not chump change.

[Boatlode]

Yeah I like mine. My feet don’t get cold when I am digging in the creek.

Mornin all.

1816. Year without a summer. Must have seemed the end of the world to some.
Crops? Good luck.

Civil war. Coins/money. Handy stuff. As it was post war too. Depending on type specie.
Doubtful much silver was tossed aside casually.

1918 flu pandemic.
Roughly a third of the worlds population infected. An estimated 5 million deaths.

Tales exist of family ,friends trying to help downed families. Till they were downed.
As a kid we checked out a pair of gravestones so far out in the woods we wondered why.
Today I wonder if it was deliberate isolation.
A coin could have gone far to the survivors following such disruption in productivity and the social fabric's partial unraveling.

1929 stock market crash and intro to the great depression.. Some people had money.
They were not crowing about it much though.
Or tossing it about frequently.
It was a body slam to the conscience. A dime would go far...

Been some rough times.
Been some high times too.

That one thin silver dime (what year?) meant a full belly . Vs another day of the logistics of scrounging a meal , or at least something to eat to some. And at times , to many.
And here it is in hand after a detector found where it was when the previous owner had that bad feeling it was gone. Somewhere.

One cent.
Worth what when money was scarce? Or even in good times by it's date.

What's it worth is often a consideration when an old coin turns up.
I seldom don't consider first what it might have been worth when it came to rest pre-recovery.
Makes a cent or dime quite a recovery when history and context is applied.

Yes. We buy a lot of those and hand warmers and those back wraps.
We didn’t have to use any this year, so far that is.

Roger, Looking good I assume you got some garlic on that pasta also for a little kick.

 

[bill from lachine]

Having a bit of a mish mash for supper tonight. We have some leftover black bean and mango salsa, we'll toast up some naan bread. We also have some leftover sauteed butternut squash with garlic. And just finished sauteing some zucchini and garlic. That should keep the vampires away and pretty much anyone else also....
