The American penny died Wednesday in Philadelphia. It was 232.

The cause was irrelevance and expensiveness.

The American penny was preceded in death by its smaller sibling, the half cent (1793-1857), and its cousin the Canadian penny (1858-2012).

Fairyland Cottages, Detroit Lakes, Minnesota (1938-2008)

This tourist attraction in my hometown once stood along the north shore of the lake (just off US 10).

The 7 Dwarfs and other characters from the movie Snow White (1937) each had their own cabin.

Gone, but not forgotten.

From 2013 to 2017 I worked as a bartender at the Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen. Loved the job, but had a stroke and had to quit. Retired life in DL is pretty good. Made some good friends here.
