Egypt #93 and Panama #94

 

Well the joke is on me. I just realized that for the past couple of months I have been posting my Variable High Speed wind tunnel project on this Duct Tape Blog instead of my Bridges2thefuture.blog This technology is tricky for an ol' dinosaur like me.

Anyway here are the latest additions to the World Duct Tape collection. #93 came from Egypt by way of Tammy Boyle from Darlington while on vacation there. The thing I find most interesting about the collection is how it makes connections between people and world events. For example, my wife works at the Johnson Library in Darlington. The head librarian Candi, heard about the collection from my wife and Candi, contacted her friend Tammy. Then a few days later I am reading the newspaper and there is an article titled, "Egypt floats its currency" that caught my attention. If not for the tape I would have just passed over the article. Because of the World Duct Tape collection I now have interest and read it. I learn something I never knew existed. Not that I understand what is going on with Egypt's currency fund but now I know it exists.

The next roll came from Bob Boyle, a retired teacher and coffee buddy that likes to travel and while on vacation in Panama got this roll. The roll is signed by the sales clerk where he bought it.

So only 6 more roles to go until I have Duct Tape rolls from one half of the countries in the world.  At 100 roll I will launch a major effort to complete the collection. With your help I will get to 100 rolls and beyond. Contact me if you get a roll and I will reimburse you for the roll and send you a 1 or 200 World Duct Tape coin.
