Some Things Are Not Meant To Be Sent In The Mail

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

You know it’s a bad thing when you have two Federal agencies looking for a package sent to someone’s house. The DEA and Inspection Service are looking for a specific package.

Photos Sold

Kewl. I was contacted by a magazine for permission to publish some of my Flickr photos. I said sure, provided a little information about each photo and kind of forgot about it.

Fortune smiles upon the dysfunctionals. I’m a happy guy. And my Flickr pics are up to 250,000 hits, by the way.

I can use the good news. This week has been a horrible one at work. We had the holiday, which means a ton of mail waiting for us on the day after the holiday. We ended up on a national list of screwups. And I ended up in the middle of a procedural error on the part of another department.

$500. $500. That’s going to be my mantra today.

Ghost Rider #041 - 19

 I did find myself in a print publication from 1978 or 1979. It’s from the Ghost Rider comic book. Found this on an online archived bit torrent.
