Grenadines of St Vincent

Pretty bird stamps eh? Some of you may have seen my mistake on todays blog. Noone mentioned it so I ain't fessing up.


Well, I'm glad that Bush is vigorously insuring our personal liberties are being protected as he says. It's comical how our forefathers thought that privacy meant privacy from the government. I'm starting to realize that privacy and personal freedom was an ideal that was old fashioned. All Uncle Sam needs is one excuse. Security. They think they can protect us from the Timothy McVeighs and the crazed cult groups that commit suicide flying jets into sky scrapers.
I'll gladly give up everything our forefathers fought for and let Bush rule.
Right
Impeach Bush and respect the Constitution this country is founded on. The man elected in trust and who took an oath to defend it, is destroying it, or rather yet, defying it.

Forward a link to todays post to everyone in your address book if you agree the man is unfit for the position. who knows, hopefully Congressman and Senators will be overwhelmed with "Get the man out of office" in their "personal" email from friends. Us stamp collectors know someone who knows someone who knows the guy that's a friend.

PS: Does anyone care that we are living G. Orwells (wish I could underline it) "1984"? We're becoming what we feared of Communism and Big Brother. No doubt I'm watched by Big Brother for my exchanges in stamps/covers and catalogues in Iran!!!

Repeat, Kinda

No clue what this is. Something like a stamp show with an opening day issue? I'm just guessing here, but I hope someone knows.

It goes with the sheets I showed the other day. I do have a spare sheet with an overprint available for trade.

Does anyone listen to Coast to Coast between 12:00 and 6:00 am? I don't like their foriegn policy politics, but the rest of the stuff is good. Art Bell is setting up in the Phillippines.

Have a nice day

Honduras

Here is two tax stamps(applied upside down) that went to the Honduran red cross, and another stamp that I absolutely cannot identify. Is it olive green one Lira? C97? Can anyone help me? think I might go to All nations group if I can't get anyone that can ID it for me.
I heard a scary bit of news today. Jeb Bush might be making a run to make Nostradamus's prediction of another Triumvirate come true.
I shudder.

Estonia

I'm not exactly sure what these small sheets are. Maybe someone can leave a comment and help me on this one.

Damn, I thought I knew everything!!!

OK, I can guess it's commemorating an anniversary!!!

Thank God I'm back to a normal 8 hour cycle at work. I've got another 12 hour work day week coming up the week before memorial day. Then it's up to Wautoma, Wisconsin for a couple days with my parents and sisters to check out my sisters new house and six Arabian horses that she rescued.
.............hours later
Alright, I'll put in a comment, I'm editing my blog today. It's a souvenier sheet commemorating the 75th anniversary of the first Estonian postage stamp. The sheets with the overprint in the selvage catalogue 4 times the un overprinted sheets. Somehow I have an extra one that has the overprint. I believe I was buying stamps from Kenmore back in 1993 and must have purchased the sheets from them back then.

Nepal

Here's one I know Josh will like Moo. Nepal, 15a CV $100. Tete Beche catalogues at 250 but these aren't that. Still a nice set of stamps. Someday I want to get the 10 Pound King George with the dragon, awesome stamp. I can't think of anything bright to say about GWB today.
I'm munching on my usual frozen pizza tonight. Red Baron's, fairly cheap, and still good.

#1 Mexico

I guess Mexico's first stamps were handstamped with District names. Actually I imagine all 5 denominations were issued at the same time in 1856. I wish I had all 5. Maybe someday. I read of someone once who just collected #1's. It could get $$$ This catalogued in 04 for 25 US$

Tomorrow I get on a regular work schedule. I'll be glad. Phew!!!

Jalapa is the district stamped on this stamp. Like you can't see that for yourself!!!!
