Not entirely accurate, but a pretty good try by ChatGPTIf you are like me, you throw around the terms brass and bronze pretty casually and without any exactness. Musical instruments are brass, plumbing is brass, old doorknobs are brass. Meanwhile sculptures are bronze, medals, things you might find on a ship, old swords and armor from the age that bears the same name. And so on. I also see coins made from both alloys.

The other day we had quite a dramatic weather shift. Instantly a haiku came to mind to describe it.warm one day and snowing the next only in this countryvia ChatGPTThe other day it was warm weather here.

You can see the steel penny at the top of the photo.

Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today I thought we'd do another You Should Laugh MoreMemes Edition post.
