Lovely, ain’t it? It’s a 155 millimeter Howitzer artillery round which was manufactured in 1951. It was a “live ‘Smoke Projectile’ complete with a small bursting charge”, whatever that means.
Well, we guess it means you shouldn’t drop it off at the recycling station.…
Indeed, most of what I know about Jungian psychology comes from an amazing piece in the New York Times a few months back, Carl Jung and the Holy Grail of the Unconscious. …
We stopped in for a visit with human dynamo Adriana Medina of Fuerte Fitness (one of our sponsors) this past week and got some happy news: they’re just 8 members away from being completely filled.
