LOL ... That's inspired.

Wow! And OMG.

I love how you slide in and out of self-awareness, Matt.

If I had access to Alox packaging, I would take patch pictures. (Same as with Kokomo -- if I had access to the packaging, I would take some pix of the nontypicals.)

Another extra for our Alox collections, by the eclectic founder of the Alox company. Published in 1963. Nancy sent me this in 2008.

Two of the people leading the run were friends and they wanted me to get to have some of the fun. I wasn't there -- my portion was shipped to me. And I do feel lucky when I look at them again.

Josh? You there?

I think those are from a run I was listed as a partner on -- the Tribute to Friendship run. March 6, 2009 I spent most of this past autumn sorting those again, so they are very familiar to me,

The move is still ongoing. And today I got x-ray confirmation that I did indeed break a rib when I fell in the snow last Sunday! We got more snow this Sunday and we'll get more snow on Friday, when we have the U-Haul lined up. (We postponed the U-Haul from Wednesday because the temps will be too darn low.) So you can imagine how much fun I'm having!

Did you get it with any others?

Found some WWII ration books in my attic today.

You're not.

I see why you think double ingot. Seems a strong likelihood. Do you trace that crease all around the marble? With oxblood like that I'd guess either dug Akro or Jabo. Not sure I recognize an amber base with oxblood, from either maker. That's some nice thick oxblood.

NICE variety

I have two more runs of DAS's already to photograph. The Ed and M run and the Thanksgiving run. But we're in the middle of this endless move and I have to set up my camera again and figure all that out on the new computer. In the meantime, I just ran across this -- this might be THE lawnchair of the Lawn Chair Run from 2009.

Austria's word of the year: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/austrian-academics-choose-bundespraesidentenstichwahlwiederholungsverschiebung-word-of-year-election-a7466176.html

Autological An autological word is a word which describes itself. For example, "pentasyllabic" means having five syllables and it has five syllables.

Rita Wilson, AKA Tom Hanks' wife, was on The Brady Bunch: http://definition.org/brady-bunch-then-now/12/

Good find. Charming cache.

Fahrenheit! It's getting coooooooold. 18 F right now. 8 high and -5 low on the day that we're using the moving van. In Centigrade, that's -8 now and -13 for the high with -21 for the low on Wednesday. *eeeeeek* We're getting up to 31 F / -1 C tomorrow but with snow. Joy!

Makes your glass group all the nicer.

Neat extra. Now you make me realize I don't know if Peltier still makes even that kind of glass. So I try to find it on google. And what I find is Peltier Glassworks, which does screen printing on bottles. Kinda weird.

It would be a horrible gift for me. I would feel so tormented about whether to eat them or not. But I like that they exist.
