    Been laid up a week with a herniated disk.

    Pass the time watching TV by going thru the change jar looking for Close and Wide AM's.

    As Mel Fisher always said... "today is the day!"

    Most of us started with pocket change (our own or from our parents)....We also had the dream of riches acquired through said change. It is only with experience and thusly gained knowledge that our expectations were dimmed, excitement dampened, and the more mundane search for dates, mint marks, condition, grades etc. commenced. The hobby is still fun and excitement still exists, though the expectation of found treasure has, for the most part, vanished. Cheers, RickO

    Yor're an eternal optimist if you think the Ontario Ford government will reverse their golf course closure regulation.

    Only province or state that is closed for golf.

    oh...and to keep it coin related...a picture of a 'Ford' coin............

    "Gold is money, and nothing else" (JP Morgan, 1912)

    "“Those who sacrifice liberty for security/safety deserve neither.“(Benjamin Franklin)

    "I only golf on days that end in 'Y'" (DE59)

    ...you just KNOW that classic commems are ready to make a soaring comeback.

    USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.

    You are an eternal optimist if you buy a stock in the morning and expect the closing price for that day to be higher.
