Western Virginian that got pulled into NOVA, then fled to Central Virginia - Charlottesville-ish. Photography, silliness, freshly minted EMT, technology, and other stuff as it occurs to me.

I still drastically prefer the tone of the community here on BSky to other platforms, but damn, the "outraged for the thrill of being outraged" crowd does flourish here. History? Context? Pragmatism? Nah - that all gets in the way of the thrill of a good old fashioned cancelling.

Farewell, fair penny. You are finished, but never forgotten
This tiny disc of zinc with just a smidge of copper has played an outsized role in our national (and international) discourse. The U.S. Mint ended production of the one-cent coin last week.

Tommy Tutone releases the single “867-5309/Jenny”.
The song peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Probably every Jenny that grew up in the 80’s hates this song! 😁

Known as “Arrowhead Mountain” in Game of Thrones, this is actually Kirkjufell, or “Church Mountain” in Iceland near Grundarfjörður on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. There is also a waterfall here, however it’s so infested with tourists/tourist buses, I can’t recommend seeing it.

By the Korean War, rescue crews were used to being paid in ice cream for saving pilots. One crew wanted a full dinner.
