62* Lil Caesar's pizza pizza

Today while I was walking the dog, I found a rusty, muddy, old penny with rivets dented around parts of the edges. It was laying on the sidewalk waiting for me to find it. It's been a long time since I've found a random penny on the sidewalk or street. Whenever I find one, I call it a 'Kenny Penny' and I'm happy when I pick it up.

           <-Lil Caesar's Pizza->
   Kenny started eating Lil Caesar's at a little more than a year old because his Grandpa Ken liked to buy it, and they already existed in Reseda, where we lived. It was the 'go to' pizza whenever there was a family get together because they were buy two for the price of one. I remember when the boys were young they would say "pizza, pizza" like the commercials.I never liked it much, still don't, so we didn't eat it home. 
   Kenny started buying it after he started driving. When he started city college his schedule required him to take a class on Thursday night the last two semesters he was in school. He started buying a $5 pizza on the way home in between classes. After a few weeks, it began to be a common routine that every Thursday Kenny would buy himself a $5 pizza for dinner and then go off to school. Most of the time he would eat half the pizza and save the other half. Sometimes I would ask him for the crust off a piece because he didn't like the crust and that was the only part I did like-otherwise the crust would go to the trash.The leftover pizza always went in the outside fridge with the filtered water. There were times when I would go to sleep and both the pizza and a full water filter were in the fridge; then when I woke up the next morning the pizza would be gone and the water would be almost empty. That meant Kenny had been up all night talking to his friends or playing StarCraft. Since Kenny has been dead we have not had Lil Caesar's pizza in our house. I kind of miss seeing those boxes in the fridge when I go to get water in the morn'.

Until tomorrow...
  
Element of the day (day 62)
#77) Ir- Iridium-] metal 
Discovered in 1803 by Smithson Tennant, England.
Very hard and brittle. It hardens other metals it is alloyed to, especially platinum. These alloys are used in spark plugs, electrical contacts and high temperature crucibles and as a catalyst.

Found only in its pure form and in osmiridium, a natural alloy of iridium and osmium. Most of the world's iridium is mined in Canada, Russia and South Africa. Recovered as a by-product of platinum and nickel processing.
