Hey y’all, looking out my window this morning, it's rain from a fast moving storm front. Hopefully, it'll dampen the fires in and around the upstate and our North Carolina cousins. It was a great time had by all at The Mills House/Iron Rose Mardi Gras party https://www.facebook.com/ironrosecharleston/. We might just be back around Spoleto, we'll keep you posted. Bumped into this cool feed, the Panda Cam from the Smithsonian National Zoo, https://nationalzoo.si.edu/webcams/panda-cam something to look at while waiting out the rain or your next cup of coffee. So what do Gayle King, Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez (Jeff Bezos's gal pal) have in common? They're all going into space... ok, just shy of earth's atmosphere for the nitpickers out there. High profile peeps typically fly for free but, if you've got an extra $150,000, strap in! We'll be at The Bohemian Bull later this month for a Carolina Children's Charity benefit, thanks for having us Sonya! https://www.facebook.com/events/9893551240658146/?active_tab=discussion For info and tix, just click the link. ICYMI - Bo's Oyster Roast was rescheduled to Saturday March 22 at the JI County Park in the field. https://bosroast.com/ for tix and info. Our very own Matt K will have his tent set up and cooking up some mean Swamp Tonic Chili, swing by and say hey! We'll be back on the beach at The Washout in March, until then see you soon, thanks so much for supporting us, love y'all and roll on, ciao'!

The Cost of a Name: Karen Poth runs a waterfront museum. After she built support from her board and elected officials — the city of Mobile, Ala., owns the place — the museum undertook what Poth estimates was a $100,000 rebranding project. The new name is all over the museum, on videos, signs, and even painted across the building in letters that form a sign 50 feet wide: “National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico.” Less than a year after Poth unveiled that, President Donald Trump announced another name change: According to the federal government, the body of water to which the museum is dedicated is now the Gulf of America. Poth said officials would guide the decision whether to go through a similar rebranding again. “It would be a complete redo of the entire museum,” Poth said. “That will be very, very expensive.” (BBC) ...Welcome to the era of governmental efficiency!

Smuggler’s Blues: Jose Munoz, 18, and Angel Gutierrez, 19, both of Greeley, Colo., have been charged with attempting to smuggle tobacco and meth into the Federal Corrections Institute in Pollock, La. Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies caught the pair outside the prison fence with the alleged contraband and a T-shirt air cannon capable of firing objects over 350 feet, commonly used at sporting events, to get the goods over the fence. Investigators say the men had $112,000 worth of tobacco and $89,500 worth of meth with them, although it’s not clear if that’s the street value, or an even more inflated “value” as contraband inside the prison. (KCNC Denver) ...Or if the drugs would come with a free T-shirt.

63 Years - A Massachusetts family well knew the story: an aunt and uncle had hidden cash in their home. They’re now long gone, and descendants wanted to sell the house, but their probing so far hadn’t turned up the cash cache. Their niece thought maybe the attic, and considered getting a metal detector, but after “decades” still hadn’t made progress. She called Keith Wille of Connecticut, who has a Youtube channel about treasure hunting. It took him less than an hour to find it: a box with evidence it had been hidden in December 1958. “The family now has closure on the cash,” Wille said. “They can sell the house.” The cash was dated as early as the 1930s and totaled $46,000 — the equivalent of $421,600 today. (Springfield Republican) …Or, if it had been invested in the S&P 500, $3.46 million.
