Have you ever seen a carved nickel? Apparently the Buffalo Nickel was/is the most favorite coin to carve due to the size, softness and size of the indian's head (it nearly fills the entive coin face). People take the nickel and actually carve new images onto them. Check some amazing images at:

Well let's see. The sidewalks are back to normal. They were a mess earlier this year and the main street had one lane closed. The crosswalks are bricked now. Very nice.

Cade's Cove was beautiful as always. Lots of traffic but not all that bad compared to past visits. Coming on Wednesday probably helps. No bear sitings. I haven't seen any for years, now. We did see several deer including one who aimed his rear at us and, errr, excused himself!

Here's a great video that shows what happens when you throw a bowl of liquid nitrogen into a swimming pool:
