Now that I'm retired, I'm trying to get all those stamps I should have bought when I was a kid...

John, I wish I could tell you. I use chrome on my Samsung and I just glided right in without hassle. One thing I think i have learned is that Discord uses "server" to refer to groups inside the site, not in the traditional sense. Confusing. But kee…

I have only accessed Discord through my phone. I had no trouble signing in, I am still bumbling around trying to figure this thing out, and I have a white screen with black letters. I have put photos in, I have used private emails to communicate wit…

Thank you, Robert.

OK, I'm in now. I have NEVER participated in any form of open social media, so I am a little cautious. Where are the ads? I expected more ads....

Thanks for informing me, Lauren. I am always, well, usually happy to be corrected

Another issue that I am aware of, particularly in my area, is that route drivers are going through their parcels that require scanning and shooting them as "delivered" as soon as they get in their vehicle. Delivered elsewhere. Stolen from the box. I…

Scott. I appreciate the humor. You are outremare, but I need to remind you that I live in Tennessee, the great state of denial, and today is indeed a sad day. The above was just my quiet protest without being political.

Hey. It's been a GREAT year so far. I think I've finally got my brain back. I'll spare you all the details.

I've seen a good bit of the new Russian material and tis very impressive. I've had a passing interest in 1940-50s Russia. But I'm just not prepared to go there yet.

Yeah, sorry guys. I very got some health issues keeping me quiet We'll talk soon.

Hola Rene! The description on that item was word salad, nothing more

Here is a maxi-card I found with a stamp from one of my favorite French sets, the urban reconstruction set of 1958, 874.

Someday. Not today, nor tomorrow. But someday I'll try the States.... And that stamp suits you Greg. "2 crazie."

Years ago I sold through a great collection of early ship recovery covers, late Mercury and most Gemini recoveries. Like so many things, I wish I still had them. And by the way. What do you catch with the big pretty lures? Fishermen....

Oh, Scott has already got a goofy side. I wish he would show more of his space philately and rocket mail.
-
That went up twice. I'm sure you don't want to read it again. So I'll just dance awhile, until.....the curtain.....comes down. Good night....

I'm happy to inspire you, Scott. I get much of my stuff from a single dealer, RIchard Lavasseur of Las Vegas. He has a huge typical fill-the-holes style inventory, but he also consistently runs about 300 better items a week at auction. He always st…

Another item from last weekend. France 612a, the 1949 CITEX sheet of 10 strips. Pencil lower left, light crease lower right, perf separation to right repaired with thin hinge strip. On the left edge, which would be the trailing edge as the paper mo…

Umm. Ron finally lost his head.

With all the time I spend browsing at night when I cannot sleep, this is a thing I often see. Most dealers can be gracious about correcting one item or two. More than that they can get touchy, especially if you are not an established customer.

Day drinking. My man Tony Bourdain once said "Drinking before lunch is highly underrated." Of course, he was in Australia at the time....

Thank you, Bonaparte. Gotta get me one a those ...

O-kee, let us once again move past the most recent unpleasantness. Here's a new pair from my man in Las Vegas. I'm still working with the camera package on my new phone, I don't like it at all. But bear with me. French Polynesia 55 from 1915, conf…

Most excellent.

Then I am certainly with you, Greg.

Well. I did say "usually" tolerant... By the way, just for complete transparency, I would never join a club that would accept me as a member (with thanks to Groucho Marx).

Mr. Doll is chairman-elect of the IPDA. You might need to look that up. His photo is in the newsletter. He is certainly not being shy. One should never be shy and usually be tolerant with children.
