Dame is always the rock and root guy. It amazes me how glass bottles are underneath a rock and not be broken. Plus Mission Accomplished. And Waynos with a coin. What a day. Love the video😊
You had the can opener wrong end for end. The pointy end is actually what we called a can opener. Like a soda can or canned milk can. The bottle opener is the flat side.
1943 & 1944. The attack on Pearl Harbor was on December 7, 1941 and War was Declared on December 8th. It took us a full year to realize that we could run out of Nickle without suspending it for use in coins.
As nickel was a strategic war material during World War II, nickels coined from 1942 to 1945 were struck in a copper-silver-manganese alloy which would not require adjustment to vending machines. WIKIPEDIA According to the Mint formula, these nickels are 35% silver. A few decades ago, there was a RUMOR floating around numismatic circles, that devious employees at the Mint had -- for their illegal purposes -- run a plate of nickels in pure silver. 🤷 Could be... But... If one were to broadcast their possession, Treasury would confiscate them as evidence of a crime. This served only to add fuel to the fire of Cultural Myth.

Harvard University was founded on October 28, 1636. The Colonials were much more sophisticated than we give them credit for. The evolution of New England's stone walls is well documented. People kept Diaries and records. There are tens of thousands of firsthand accounts of what life was like in colonial times. Early boundary markers were carved into trees, or marked by large stones, piles of stones, and waterways. Fences were made of wood and sometimes the roots of pulled up stumps. If you were clearing a field for agriculture, you would bring the stones found on the surface to the boundary of your property and toss them on the ground. These were called, “tossed walls,” and stones would accumulate around the wooden fences. Shortly after the Revolutionary War, folks started stacking these into walls for both aesthetic, and practical reasons. I hope this helps. Have a good evening.
