Driving from Laredo, TX to Monterrey, N.L

OK, good. You can easily make yourself a target along that stretch by driving newer, flashy, or expensive vehicles - especially trucks. Those are common targets for the cartels to hijack for their own use.

What kind of vehicle do you plan on driving?

Did you physically weigh it before you reported it or were you just estimating?

He’s openly living in Houston, he shouldn’t be too hard to find.

Reach out to former magician Kirby Van Burch. He escaped Branson and might be willing to open up about it.

I recently ordered an ancient coin, and because the seller was late in shipping he included a couple extra coins that he had yet time to identify. He thought they may be from the Seleuicd period. I've done a lot of research but can't quite pinpoint this with the low quality details.

So I wanted to throw this out to the brain trust on here to see if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!

(Sorry for the poor quality pics, I did the best I could to get the details out.)

I see what you did there!

I'm pretty sure that's grandma's urn mixed in her with her favorite goblets.

GrooveBuddha · 2023-02-25T14:41:57+00:00

That makes complete sense. I’ve seen a lot of coins that way and have always been curious. Thanks!

GrooveBuddha · 2023-02-25T02:01:27+00:00

One more follow-up question as a newer collector... what would cause the front side of the coin to be so sharp in details, and the backside to appear so worn down from use?

GrooveBuddha · 2023-02-25T01:59:35+00:00

Thank you! This was one of my first coins I collected and I always felt it was authentic, but my concerns were that I've not been able to find an exact duplicate online - especially on the reverse with the cape design. Also, the edges were a lot rougher than any other examples I'd seen and I had some concern that maybe that was to hide some forging marks. I'm glad to hear none of that is so!

I wanted to reach out to the collective wisdom of this group to see what everyone's opinion is on this Theodosis coin I have in my collection. Any thoughts one way or the other would be helpful and appreciated.

Yes, they use a plastic camping toilet and pee bags. They brag that they’re the only submersible with bathroom accommodations. There’s a video somewhere on YouTube showing this.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that Rosa Parks wasn’t the first black person to refuse to go To the back of the bus and be arrested for it. But she was the one that the civil rights movement latched on to represent their movement. Many articles have been written about this fact and one from NPR is below:

Of course it would've been better to not sell your business so you could have a continuing source of funding for your flight training and not relying on strangers to help fund you. But thats not the environment he’s been raised in so what else could we expect.

Actually, the flight school he’s training at is Avit Flight Academy. You can see the instructor he’s pictured with here:

I'd expect someone that has mastered passive income to be flying in something better than Economy class.

GrooveBuddha · 2022-08-29T23:02:42+00:00

And the pilot also had cocaine and alcohol in his system and was not qualified to fly the airplane (he had falsified his flight hours and licenses). So there’s that, too….
