Black Hole

I've grown accustomed to using tongs, granted, most of my collection, as often as I handle it. Is fine with casual touching, but I like the habit of using tongs for that occasional "find".

Well, I've discovered that I have a force in my home that swallows tongs and never lets them escape.

I've lost several of these, and this force of nature exists very close to where I use them.

I'd just like to know if any of you are finding stamp tongs popping out of thin air.

I'm missing the 7, 25 and 100. Greek mythology stories always fascinated me, but the artwork of mythology is just as fascinating.

Oh yeah!!!

Virgin Islands purchase

Wouldn't you think the Islands would become a state if we purchased them?

Kenmore Stamp Company

Kenmore has been around for awhile. I remember seeing books of matches with special offers.

I find Newfoundland just before Canada in the Scott's catalogue.

I do say, I really admire looking at Newfoundland stamps.

Christmas down under

The stamps I got on a cover from MD. The postal authorities demolished the top edge of the cover. Only MD's technique of placing stamps away from the edges saved these stamps.

Be sure to go to the Cddstamps page and enter the Christmas prize contest. The clock is ticking away!! http://www.cddstamps.com/competition.htm

I saw on the news today that Gatorland in Florida had a fire and lost only a couple alligators and snakes.

This Croc stamp is not just coincidence. This news is a perfect example of Jeism.

My son called me to say he happened across this blog article which mentions my blog and several others of note, I concur with the authors' view of the best blog for daily news and info reading(see my favorite in the link section).

I'm surprised I wasn't contacted for one of my images to be published. Either way, it should be noted that my Main St. address shown in the arcticle is OLD!!! It's 902 Sycamore now.

The author didn't look at all my blogs, because there are several items that you wouldn't find in a dealers bargain box, as he says!!!




Still searching.....

Much is to be found on simple covers. This here is a nice example of a metered stamp. Transportation series.
