In Japan this yogurt drink is pronounced Calpis (ka-ru-pi-su) but for some explainable reason it is printed Calpico for the foreign market.

It is an aircraft assembly plant. Probably Northrop Grumman. Not sure but it could be the B-21 Bomber.

It's a B-2 assembly line. The B-21 aircraft is smaller, slimmer intakes, two windscreens versus four on the B-2. The landing gear and trailing edge control surfaces are very different - not seen in the pic.

This MLK Day morning visitor in our backyard:

We have hardly had any snow at all in Western North Carolina. So far, I kind of envy that beautiful snow you have.

No joking, I like one good big snow every year and we haven’t had that yet.

You can have it.

For those of you who like silverware, I got a relatively exciting pick up a few days ago…

A pair of these walked into the store I work at, sold as silver scrap.

I kept one and a good friend of mine, who really wanted an example got the other one…

I haven’t dated them yet, there is a place somewhere that will tell the date by those markings, but I haven’t been motivated enough to look, but my guess is somewhere right around 1930 it was made, but what is cool, is this was made right in Asheville, North Carolina. Not far at all from the store I work at!

I have collected his work for many years, I don’t have many pieces because it’s usually hard to buy it at a reasonable price, I definitely paid well above the silver price for this, but I still feel like I got a good deal:

$180, it weighs just under six troy ounces basically $30 an ounce

William Waldo Dodge of Asheville, North Carolina, completely handmade, and hammered in his “waterfall” hammering style.

Just a lovely example!
