Lol. Well, come on by. Our kid moved out. You can take his room. You have to do the dishes and take out the garbage though
Here's a solidus of Constantine V. The only interesting thing about it is that I bought it by accident. A little quick on the trigger, meant the...

Rich, how much do you want to spend? A real DSLR + macro lens will run you at least a couple hundred. I'll be the contrarian here but I wouldn't...
Wow, I can't take my eyes off that pointy-hatted Eddie!! Whatever you paid for it it was worth it. The William II is another major score. Getting...

Some of this is from my own as-yet unpublished research so might be controversial to some extent but the gist of it is that there are actually two...
