Light fixture I built 25 years ago from parts I found in a great junk yard in Connecticut. Back in my "arty-farty days" in NYC, I must have ventured there about 10 times. Plugged it in and it still works. After all these years I'm going to repurpose this for a clock project I have in mind. 53,65,40,0,W

"Small world". A friend of mine just told me about that on Facebook yesterday. I almost ordered one but decided to hold off. This morning I found something very similar at half the price and ordered it from AliExpress. It's called "HelloCubic Cool Weather Forecast Prism Crystal 3D WiFi Clock Station Transparent Small TV Desktop English Version". Ordering stuff from China is kinda like the old days of ordering stuff from magazine ads or TV commercials where it would say please allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery.
small world in the world of big screens --
the comic book bonus...pricey for a kid now that I think about it.

"Sea-Monkeys is a marketing term for brine shrimp (Artemia) sold as novelty aquarium pets. Developed in the United States in 1957 by Harold von Braunhut, they are sold as eggs intended to be added to water, and almost always come bundled in a kit of three pouches and instructions."

I always wanted a squirrel monkey. But as a kid, I couldn't fathom how to come up with $18.95. https://creativepro.com/scanning-around-gene-monkeys-and-skunks-your-mailbox/
