The tale of the
Salvador Dalí Persistence of Memory Melting Watch pin, new one of the left, the one that has the history of the paving stones of Cuidad Rodrigo imbedded in it. 

Some very strange things happen in the course of one’s life, but this is one of the strangest that I have ever experienced.  My partner Kay and I were in the small city of Cuidad Rodrigo, a fortified city 15 miles from the Portuguese border that is surrounded by walls that once had around it a moat, part of which still exists (without water).  I always wear a Salvador Dalí Persistence of Memory Melting Watch pin and I have many of the same pin, since I have lost a dozen or more over the years, because the clasps were flimsy and they often came off during the course of my road warrior travels.  I finally ordered a new batch of pins and bought a box of sturdy pin clasps to keep from losing them.
