Soviet soldiers feeding polar bears from a tank in 1950

The soldiers would feed the polar bears with condensed milk tins. People would open such a tin with a tin-opener and then gave the can to the bear who licked all the milk from tin and then feed her little bears with it. Those blue and white tins of condensed milk were the winter dessert staple of every Soviet kid. The condensed milk (called in Russian: sgushchennoye moloko) had indeterminately long shelf life and there was always plenty of it. It was a common dessert in the army too.

Spotted off our back deck yesterday, we think it is living around our woodshed. It gets awarded the new critter of the year at my house. (image not ours)

Laser Cut Steampunk Black Beard Mask (wip)

I am currently working on a Steampunk Black Beard mask and costume for next years steampunk festivals, TLAP parties, and Halloween. After this mask is done I will be making a Calico Jack mask and a Mary Reed mask for the other members of our crew. Then the custom costumes for all of us and of course the dog. We take our pirating very seriously!
