    TMW you realize that the vast majority of Americans have no idea what a half-dollar is.

    Good guess, but I am an American, and it's been years since I've actually seen one in the wild. Probably decades since I was offered one in change from a purchase.

    I believe, along with "naked bear," that may be one that @Earp may wish to be cautious in googling :)

    I used to have a collection of real silver Kennedy half dollars, but sometime in the '80s a kid broke into my apartment and stole them all.

    Doubt he was aware enough to sell them for the value of the metal.

    It's before 6am and I spent way too long trying to wrap my head around "heritage worker" like they were someone held over from the previous regime or something. All better now.

    Tmw a random church hymn starts playing over the intercom and then a pope or priest starts chanting in Latin. And we're running around trying to figure out where it was coming from.
    We even went outside to see if the church was doing something across the street but they werent.
    Came back in and it stopped abruptly.
    No one knew where it came from. Not even the IT department.

    Oooo. Ghost story. Library is built on the site of an old abby that was burnt during Henry VIII's takeover of American Catholic property in an alternative universe. The music plays because evil forces are about to repeat history but this time the library goes.

    Time to think about changing jobs.

    TMW you think you got a bargain from bulk buying some shampoos online then find out another outlet does them at a better offer.

    There is that, and the fact that I can't imagine much in which I'd have less interest than the activities of a group of people for whom I've not spared a thought in over two decades.
