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.
