                         Extreme globe, Brevard edition
                                        
Bunny and I stopped off at an antique store and there, I saw this really cool
globe for sale:

[It was tempting. Oh so tempting. But I have to ask myself, “Self, just where
are you going to put it?”] [1]
 

The ranged rings aren't printed on the globe—it's a clear plastic hemisphere
that can be repositioned. And because I was curious, I placed the center
point on Korea. Not North Korea mind you, Korea! The globe is so old that the
Korean peninsula is Korea.

And that clear plastic hemisphere … I have never seen such a feature on a
globe before. And it might have been quite progressive at the time, for it
has both miles and kilometers marked off.

A very cool globe.
