Introducing: Crazy Dave!

PS--I manage a natural history collection and one of the students who works for us loves to stuff birds and small mammals, but he too hates touching the cotton! One other girl agreed to work up the cotton bodies for him. Other students were teasing him about it the other day, but I can understand, cotton wool feels very sticky and strange to me. It often has some percentage polyester in it, or rayon.

Welcome aboard. That is a great list of interests. H.P. Lovecraft is wonderful and interesting. I read a lot of his work whilst in high school. Glad to have you join our community. Best wishes.

Rocco, was the resemblance to the Overlord Arch in your painting intentional?

No, I don't know what that is

I googled it just now, that's an interesting display.

Same here for Russia under Stalin. I really like Vladimir Lenin. Marx & Engels laid the "egg" of Socialism, Lenin incubated it, and unfortunately, Stalin broke it open, cooked it and ate it... Yeah, Stalin was a jerk. (Just ask Leon Trotsky.) By the way, I'm not too sure if your name is Lena or not, but Vladimir Ulyanov (aka Lenin) took the alias "Lenin" possibly from the Lena river in Russia, according to many historians.

Yes, my name is Lena.
And I have heard of Lena river before.
Actually, I always have some issue when people call my name with different pronunciation.
Most people would pronounce it as "Lee-Na/Lin-Na"
But the one who give me this name pronounce it something between "Le-Na" and "Len-Na".
He was my teacher and I forgot to ask him where he was came from.
I guess he was a swede.
But anyway, seems I always get in trouble for the pronunciation.

Nice! There is a over mint mark error found on some 1954 S nickel, the S over D. It's a neat error and one of my favorites.

Yup, I checked.. It's just a S mark, and there is no S over the D... Ah well.. Lately I've been trying to purchase a Trade Dollar. (No chop marks) They are so beautiful.
