I was really looking forward to some deep dish pizza before my flight. I ordered the pepperoni and red onion pizza. It smelled great! But after diving in I discovered it was undercooked and the dough was still raw beneath the tomato sauce. I took it back up and they made me another one (took 15 minutes despite others already under the heat lamp. I thanked them and took it back to my table only to find that the edges were burnt while the Center was cold and again, uncooked. I didn’t have time to go back a third time so I tossed it. Sadly I had eaten just enough of it to make me ill on the 8 hour flight. It will be a long time before I return but I won’t forget how bad this expense was. I gave the staff 2 stars instead of one because they did make me a second pizza instead of telling me to stuff it.

Mystery Song
I was going thru my old Buffett CDs and random songs from my beach party days when I came across this song. The file is labeled Parrothead Holiday by the Land Sharks but I think probably both are wrong. I checked spotify and Amazon music, iTunes but I couldn’t find the source. Any help would be welcome!
[Scene: A bustling publishing house, where a heated argument ensues about the color of text on a book cover.]
Editor: I’m telling you, the text on this book is cerulean blue!
Designer: No way, it’s more of an aquamarine shade!
Writer: Hold on, I think it’s leaning towards seafoam green-blue.
Assistant: Guys, let’s settle this once and for all. Bring out the Pantone color chart!
[The Pantone color chart is dramatically brought to the center of attention.]
Editor: Look, here’s Pantone 2955 C, the exact match for the book’s text!
Designer: But wait, what about Pantone 320 C? It seems closer to me.
Writer: Are you sure? I think Pantone 3242 C hits the mark.
[The tension rises as each person passionately defends their chosen Pantone color.]
Assistant: Let’s take a step back from the Pantone frenzy and dive into the captivating world of the color blue itself.
[The scene transitions into an ancient setting, with characters wearing flowing robes.]
Ancient Sage: Ah, the color blue, a fascinating enigma. Did you know that the ancients lacked a word for blue?
Curious Scholar: No word for blue? How could that be?
Ancient Sage: They described the sky as bright, the sea as dark, but the color blue eluded their linguistic grasp.
[The scene shifts back to the present, the publishing house.]
Editor: It’s incredible to think that the ancients didn’t have a word for blue. Perhaps they knew something we don’t.
Designer: Maybe they understood that colors transcend language and can’t be confined to labels.
Writer: True, it’s a reminder that our perception of colors is shaped by our culture and experiences.
[Everyone pauses, reflecting on the profound realization.]
Assistant: In the midst of our debate, we’ve uncovered a deeper truth about the subjective nature of color perception. It’s not just about Pantone numbers or shades; it’s about how colors evoke emotions and spark creativity.
[The scene concludes with a sense of wonder and intrigue.]
Assistant: So, let us continue to embrace the beauty and diversity of the color blue, celebrating the shades that captivate our imaginations. From the deep navy to the refreshing cerulean, from aquamarine to seafoam, the color blue holds endless mysteries and invites us to explore its depths.
[As the curtain falls, the publishing house is filled with a newfound appreciation for the complexity and wonder of the color blue.]

September 17th: Cars car
I was elated to see the footpath leading into the fields had been mowed since my last visit. I have no idea how you did it because it is pretty narrow and there’s a kissing gate at one end. Just a few feet onto the path I had a strong signal and it turned out to be this toy car from the movie Cars. Not sure if the text on the side is Japanese or a sound effect maybe?
Here’s what it looked like before it was lost on the footpath. Apparently it’s a special colour changing model released in September of 2017:
I checked several different spots on the way down the path but there wasn’t much of note. A lot of iron signals that discouraged me from doing more digging and several dog walkers that kept me moving along. 🙂
Once in the field I found a musket ball, which wasn’t a surprise as this is one field over from where the ammo cache was found and if I remember the old map data correctly, these three fields were all one field back in the day.
I also found an unknown coin and a very shiny naval button probably Victorian or more recent:
It’s gold-plated on the front, the reverse says ‘Made in England’ but does not include a maker’s name.
The prize of the day though was this text book quality spectacle buckle from late 15th-early 16th century. It is in really good shape for being 8 inches down in very rocky soil:
Cheers, and thank you again for a good day’s detecting!
This is a long one but it has an audio component I hope you can appreciate. First I need you to hear the first few seconds of this video: Almost everyone will recognise it as the opening notes from the … Continue reading
I saw the name Bianca someplace today and it reminded me of playing with my cousin Shelby once when I was a kid. Shelby was my Aunt Katherine’s daughter about the same age as me. She had two dolls; one … Continue reading
