Newsweek reports that a kite-shaped ring with a piece of garnet in its center was uncovered at the site of Burghead Fort, which is located on the coast of northeastern Scotland, by researchers from the University of Aberdeen. Burghead Fort was a seat of power used by the Picts between the sixth and tenth centuries A.D. "There are very few Pictish rings which have ever been discovered and those that we do know about usually come from hoards which were placed in the ground deliberately for safekeeping in some way," said archaeologist Gordon Noble of the University of Aberdeen. "We certainly weren't expecting to find something like this lying around the floor of what was once a house," he added. Some evidence of metalworking has been uncovered at the fort, so the ring may have been made on site. The researchers plan to look for clues as to who may have worn the ring.

Back when, I went to a couple of laser shows at the university planetarium. While waiting for the previous show to clear out, the bunch of us were in the lobby. I suddenly realized about a third of the crowd were sitting on the floor staring open-mouthed at the ceiling lights. :^) I’m pretty sure they were grooving with some critters and picts. :^D
Undoubtedly it was several species of small furry animals.

So they scored some of the “good” LSD.🤪 The second concert I went to was Pink Floyd, The Wall.

“His second wife doesn’t like it.”
LOL! My ex’s new wife made him go through the pain of having MY name removed from his arm. He was a Navy SEAL - it was all the rage at the time, I guess.
There’s a reason I DO NOT have tats and a reason I don’t keep journals. Never put anything IN WRITING if you can help it. ;)
My mother always said, never put anything in writing you don’t want read by everybody.
That’s so funny that your ex’s new wife made him remove your name. She sounds insecure.
