Some Actual Philatelic Postage Stamps that I Actually, Like, Bought
And other stuff that came in the mail.

"VERY OLD EGYPT COLLECTION"

"Why on Earth" you might reasonably ask, "would you buy philatelic postage stamps?" 

"AWESOME 1914 ANGOLA COLLECTION"

The answer is, I think they're kind of neat, and it's fun to get something interesting in the mail.  I bought them on a whim, for peanuts, on a well-known online auction site.

What was I doing on an online auction site?  Well, I was shopping for this:

I know, right?  KEEPING IT REAL!!!

And the reason I got this (for peanuts) was partially to be able to listen to The Free Box Tapes at work, and partially for its AM radio, which offers the possibility of giving me an alternative way of listening to college football, now only 17 days away, on days when Mrs.5000 just doesn't want to hear it.  Assuming, that is, that I can change the station tuning, the knob for which is missing.  One accepts these things when one is buying for peanuts.

Did anything else come in the mail!?  Yes, my new business cards!

Let me know if you need a few to spread the good word!  To think that there are people missing out on quality online entertainment like this post!
