Getting quiet around here, so lets have a contest. She Who Must Be Obeyed and I have been cashing in our change jars and started a fund for our 25th anniversary/honeymoon, (the day after we got married we moved to Muncie Indiana, as I began teaching there the following week, and for some odd reason she does not consider Muncie to be the honeymoon capital of the world, go figure?). So, the pix below (same pix, two angles) is a pile of pennies (and there were about a dozen dimes mixed into the pennies) a roll or nickles, and a little red piggy-bank crammed full of dimes. I included my Brier Brian pipe to give you some idea of scale, as if the coins themselves aren't enough.
Who ever is closest to the total value of all the loot in the pile (sans the pipe) will win a bunch (defined by me, but I'm sure you'll like it) of good, mostly aged tobacco. The only caveats are I can't ship them internationally (sorry, I love the international aspect of our board, but too often they never arrive) but you can name a "local" BoB to receive the bootee, and you only get one guess. I'll leave it open for say, ten days. So at midnight, Central Standard Time on July 15th it's over.
