Kovacs Pharmacy, Universal City, 1992, a relic of a time when your local pharmacy was: your pharmacy. Speaking of relics, note the sign for S&H Green Stamps, an actual relic of your grandmother’s day (google it - or ask your granma).

@crAshBanzai @StarTrekHour @petertrek1 The mechanism isn't unheard of. After all that's how Scotty made it into the era. I should rewatch and see if prohobitions on the use of the buffer ever come up.

IN FACT, did M'Benga ever explain why keeping his daughter Rukiya in the buffer was such a secret? I might have missed that.🤔

Is the Metropolitan Museum of Art Displaying Objects That Belong to Native American Tribes?
==

Only a small percentage of works donated by Charles and Valerie Diker have clear ownership histories. Experts say this could mean objects are stolen or fake.

Meanwhile, the Met has been slow to ask tribes for information about the items.

During my recent trip to Japan, I came across some abandoned relics that were often small stone-made Shinto shrines.

One of the shrines in the photo says it was built in the 11th year of the Tenpo period (天保十一)/ the Year of Kanoene (庚子年); therefore, in 1840AD.

This happens to be the same year the Treaty of Waitangi was signed here in New Zealand.

A Rare Statue of Buddha Fails to Sell at Auction as Questions Swirl Around a Renowned Art Collection
--
What happened may be a sign that objects from the collection of James and Marilynn Alsdorf will have trouble finding buyers following questions about how they were acquired. The piece from Nepal was once displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago.

In Egyptian mythology the ancient god Osiris was killed and dismembered by his brother Seth.

In an inscription at the temple of Edfu a list is preserved with the locations where the relics of Osiris were kept: His head in Abydos, his legs in Thebes.

Craig and I visited Madrid in December 2019 (who knew it would be among our last trips in the "before" time?), and made a special pit stop to San Anton's church to see what are allegedly the bones of St. Valentine--I say allegedly because several churches claim to have Valentine's relics. Valentine is, btw, the patron saint of not just lovers but also of epileptics and bee keepers.

I love old relics of the past. Thinking of making this part of a calendar series.

The enigmatic Heteroponera, a small, often subterranean ectatommine ant found in the tropical Americas and Australia, but nowhere else. Not much is known about its biology.

I photographed this one earlier in January in Victoria.
