ignoramouses

sometimes i wish i were a guy so i could be this dumb and get away with it...

my new weight loss incentive

found a new reason to start dieting IMMEDIATELY...

spare change?

i love this coin... gramps melted a bunch of misc. gold he had accumulated and made this coin.



his initials "RAB" are under the profile that has this subtle smile, and the year he made it, 1984, is imprinted on the back.

it is very heavy, about the size of a dollar coin, but maybe 3x as thick as a quarter

some dusty things

i was really missing my grandpa tonight and decided to go through a couple of his things that i brought home with me from my visit to sacramento in sept. it's kinda neat when i find myself thinking of something someone has said to me right when i need to remember it.

one of the things that were in the little treasures i brought home was some sort of savings bond or other gov't note. i decided to scan it. the paper has a nice weight to it, and it seems authentic. wouldn't it be neat if i could find the descendants (i don't think it belongs to my family line - just a feeling) and pass it along?

what would you do if someone gave you a $1000, 166 yr-old matured note? from your great-great-great-great granddad?


i'd buy some chickens!
