Someone in FL apparantly used a very rare stamp (worth about $200,000) to mail in an absentee ballot.
The fact that the stamp has been cancelled lowers the value. So it's probably worth between $50K-$100K. Still--I hate to think of some absent-minded old person pulling out a stamp from the back of a desk drawer that is worth that much money and not even be aware that they had it.
According to CNN, the envelope had no name on it (so the vote doesn't count). Which means they probably can't trace the owner.
On the one hand, she saved a life. On the other, she didn't get to beat the crap out of anyone to do it.
I have to start somewhere, right?
The poor guy driving the car. I look over, and there's this little kid reaching for the tires of a moving car in a parking lot. I run over and scoop him up, and the driver's looking panicked and asking if he's okay. Which he was. Then some other guy, who if not the father looked to be in a supervisory role, comes from the other side of the car/truck and says that the kid's mother is in the cafe. I say "Crazy person" (not sure about whom) and hand the kid to him (kid starts squalling about now).
Later we see the kid, the mom and the same guy leaving together.

Oh, man. So they blew $200,000 unknowingly, and for nothing. That's lemon juice in a paper cut right there.
have you ever worn their shoes?
No, but I'm sorely tempted. If I cave, I'll report back here. I mean, some of the shoes are just plain cute before I even consider the sole.
Tommy, I don't think they work on ice--wet and greasy surfaces. But this site has a range of slip-resistant shoes for sale.
Gotta go see who that guy from NUMB3RS was. Not the one noted upthread, I think. I'm guessing at the whitefont. The balding one with the big ears. And could the ep have been more

Dayum. Also the stuff they did with the

looked highly iffy.
What other show did
sabermetrics
come up in? CSI?
Aha! The guy's been on everything--Buffy, Angel, Firefly, X-Files, Strange World. I'm doing an Angel rewatch, so that's what he was pinging me strongest on.
Damn, that's an impressive collection of shows he has there.

My toddler is not set down in parking lots. Though she really, really wants us to do so, just like she wants everything else that's bad or dangerous for her.
My nephew has a tendency to advocate taking other people's babies (he did it again.) However, just short of 4, unclear on the whole pregnancy to baby thing.
I think toddlers kinda want the things parents don't. Their job.
Are the ads for that new Deja Vu movie earworming anyone else with Tara's speech from "Restless"?
There is a phenomenon known as déjà vu.
