...you would think I'd learn to just bid crazy money for the books and coins I want
but was much too timid for in the recent Kolbe and Goldberg auctions...recent miss-outs...

...I guess I'll console myself by buying a new pair of shoes and a tie...

    I don't think that the shoes are so hot, no I don't like them at all!!!

    The tie looks like something someone wore on Hawaii 5-0 and the shoes, well I don't know anyone with feet that long and that narrow that isn't an animated character. image

    Prices seemed strong for the stuff I was looking at in the Goldberg Auction.

    Don't beat yourself up, new shoes might actually make you feel better. image

    If it's something I really want, I put my maximum bid in about half way
    throught the day the auction ends.
    I start with a "teaser" bid of about half that.

    There's no corner deep enough for a bug to take refuge in when those shoes are being worn.

    Those shoes are going to give you blisters! Ouch they look painful. image

    Those shoes look like they have "toe" extensions on them! What are they, about size 18?
