Maybe it's that I haven't seen a Kennedy half-dollar since I was younger and therefore smaller (with smaller hands) that makes them seem huge in my mind.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Oh, that's right. Eisenhower was on the silver dollar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You can do it, Allyson!
I've seen a Kennedy half-dollar somewhat recently, and they are still huge, relative to other US coins.

So, today's lunch is ricotta cheese with fruit and a side salad. The ricotta cheese had some mold in it, but I juts scooped out my half a cup from the pristine looking other end of the container. That'll be okay, right?
Aha, Eisenhower dollars were 38mm! That's the hugeness!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The Kennedy 50c piece was what I meant, FTR.
Vonnie, insurance varies hugely by state, too -- Mass sets its costs at the state level (with discounts for things like "no tickets" and "yes my car has seatbelts"), basically by age of car and proximity to Boston. (Really.) Which is why Geico is not available in Mass at all.
A comparison seems in order. I know you can get estimates online (my brother is thinking about a car, which is how we learned Geico is a no-go around here), and I bet you can better $200/mo. I was paying less than that within Boston city limits, and you know that thing about Boston drivers (and the number of dings they put in bumpers).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Have resubbed to Natter after a week, because I didn't want to miss the Alias posts. I feel like there's a flaw in my process somewhere.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
YAY DANA! Welcome back to Natter!
I just watched last week's Alias. For some reason I am not so into this year.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I just watched it last night. The melty guy was so very gross.
And, I still love SpyDaddy.

My senator cracks me up. Transcript from the Griffin confirmation hearing:
Sen. Mikulski: "Dr. Griffin is an outstanding candidate. He is a rocket scientist, THANK GOD. Finally we have someone who understands. I want to save the Hubble and hope that Dr. Griffin is an able partner in that."
