Picture I took on some cheap Kodak camera out in the Aleutians in the early 90's

When we bought this place in the 90's the previous owners left this behind. Joke's on them, it still works

I have misplaced my pants.
Stuff was built to last back then. Or, even before that - even older things were built even better.
We moved into our house in 2004. I already had a washer and dryer, and the previous owner left them in the house, despite that I said that they were supposed to move them out. Really old washer and dryer. Probably 1950's (but I'm no expert). Our washer and dryer were new in 2000. But a buddy said he needed a new washer, so I sold it for like $50 or something. I think they said that their washer lived longer than ours did.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just sayin': Yeah, I know. I take lousy pictures; however, I thought this one was unique. There is a little cemetery in Icy Strait, Alaska with about a dozen graves. They put coins on the graves/tombstones.
Google AI: The cemetery in Icy Strait, Alaska, that features coins on gravestones is likely the one near Icy Strait Point and Hoonah, associated with the Hoonah Canning Company. The practice of leaving coins on graves is a common way to honor veterans, with different denominations representing various levels of connection or service. A travel blog notes that coins were scattered or stacked on the headstones at this cemetery. The blog also explains that a penny means a visit, a nickel means shared training, a dime means shared service, and a quarter means the visitor was present at the veteran's death.
Anyone ever hear of this practice before?
Captain Paul E. Dybdahl Sr. was born in Trondheim, Norway and according to his head stone, he died a “Pioneer Alaskan” at 87. He must have had a very interesting life.
