A souvenir slug of lead from Berlin Deutsches Technikmuseum, cast on a Linotype machine which back in the hot metal days set the type for newspapers all over the World !.
Letters in the time of George Washington were typically written on a single sheet of paper using a quill pen that was sharpened with a pen knife. The quill tip was dipped into an inkwell and used to scribe the letter. An ink blotter was rolled over the wet ink or a fine powder was dusted over the ink to dry it before folding the paper to form its own envelope which was then sealed using sealing wax. The outside was addressed to the recipient and a posted at an inn or other public establishment. In 1780, US mail was sent by depositing letters at local taverns, coffee houses, or print shops, to be carried by post riders, ship captains, or travelers along established, often dangerous, routes. It was expensive, generally paid by the recipient, and often utilized for official business. Stamps, as we know it were not used before 1847 in the US. The recipient of the letter paid for the letter where it was retrieved from a tavern or other local place where posts were held for pickup by the recipient.

💗thank you very much for your favorites!!!
I love to go to movies. In a theatre with a crowd. The crowd is optional, but prefered...
I probably average one a week during the course of a year.
A FEW RANDOM THOUGHTS AND WORTHLESS OPINIONS...
I hate arriving late for a movie. If the show is about to start... be prepared to see something else or buy tickets for the next showing. "I'm very anal about this". The last time I walked into a darkened theatre was the final installment of "Star Wars". This was only because I had already seen it... I like to have my popcorn and be seated before the coming attractions... "coming attractions" ARE a part of the movie experience. Commercials, on the other hand, suck.
Jodie Foster is the only movie star who's films I go to just because she's in them.
Russell Crow is my favorite actor. I am still miffed that he did not win the Oscar for "A Beautiful Mind". A film which won "Best Picture", "Best Director", "Best S. Actress", and "Best Writing". All for a movie in which every scene surrounds his character. losing to Denzel Washington(a very good performance) in "Training Day"(an ok film)... so wrong.
... that said. I do think Halle Berry was brilliant in "Monster's Ball". The last ten minutes alone were worthy of an Oscar nomination. She had very little dialogue during this part of the film. The emotions were conveyed in her facial expressions and body language. "Simply amazing"
"As Good As It Gets" is that rare movie where I leave the theatre wishing the characters would just keep going... the only film since then to bring out this response in me was "Friends With Money". A movie for which I have yet to lend to anyone who liked it.
