Before I had to go to school yesterday, Mom drove me to a dentist appointment. Shortly after we left home, though, Mom asked me to see when my cell phone expires. It was right on the main screen, but at first, I thought that was just the current date. After navigating some menus, though, it said the same thing, but this time, I noticed that it said 9/2/09. Yesterday was 9/2/08, so it's a coincidence that it expires exactly one year from yesterday.
Last night, I noticed a rhombus-shaped bar of metal on the dining room table. Mom said that it's bronze, which Dad is gonna melt in a crucible furnace. It sure was rough, but Mom told me that usually, gold bars are much more refined when they get molded into their usual shape. That thing was sure heavy as well, weighing 25 lbs.
I just asked right now if I could take a picture of that piece of metal before Dad melts it. He asked me what fascinates me about it, and I told him that it was the first time I physically came across a bar of metal. He told me I actually once came across a bar of lead of the same shape, but I don't remember that. He also said it's called ingot (with a silent "t"), and Mom told me that the camera is in Dad's lunchbag.
I took a picture of it, and asked Mom to upload it onto our computer while I'm at school. I'll be sure to provide the pic tomorrow.
