Mornin all.
Had another of our dogs put down last night.
Time favors no one it seems.
So sorry to hear that RC, my condolences. 😥
I can see where having multiple dogs would good in some ways. There's always one to fill the void.
But the repeated losses would probably not be a good thing for me at least.
That 🌰 is still too fresh.
 
:coffee2: Good morning everyone, rain seems to be over for now. Our 1st cool day in months as well. I guess fall has arrived. We ended up with 11 inches of rain in 24 hours. Our house is basically where the dark red/purple 11" is along the coast. Many low areas are flooded.View attachment 2228845
We didn’t get any rain just some wind
 
Got a short flash of beauty again tonight

Even the old ones from the 60s ?
Canadian quarters were made of silver for a significant period, transitioning from a 92.5% silver composition until 1919, to 80% silver from 1920 to 1967, and finally to 50% silver in 1967 and 1968. The Royal Canadian Mint stopped minting silver quarters for circulation in 1968 due to economic factors, and they are now made of nickel-plated steel.

Canadian quarters and their silver content
  • 1908–1919: 92.5% silver
  • 1920–1967: 80% silver
  • 1967–1968: 50% silver

Transition to current composition
  • 1968: The last Canadian quarters containing silver were minted.
  • 1968–2001: Quarters were made of 99.9% nickel.
  • 2000–present: Quarters have been produced with a steel core and are plated with copper and nickel, making them the most cost-effective and durable version.
