luminous

Just happened to notice a couple nights ago that two of my pocket watches still had a little glow life left in them.  Only lasts for about a minute after I turn off the lights.  Those two were manufactured in the 70's - after they stopped using radioactive paint.  77,86,65,0,B

Off topic—
On the front page of my local newspaper today there was a big color photo and article about a historic village on the western edge of Terlingua, Villa de la Mina, for sale for a cool 1.95 million. Included- a jail, feed store, cantina etc. This is your chance to go big and expand TFL.

They should have listed it 2 years ago when the market peaked out here and property sold as fast as it got listed. Now prices have dropped and there is a glut of listings (over 200 properties for sale).

Article said it was second time listed since 2018.

An interesting read is "Radium Girls".

Radium Girls is a "jaw dropping" story...
