I'm Scared......

No need for me to explain, just listen to Alex Jones and Ron Paul:

What is up with eBay?

I have not been on eBay for a while, so the recent changes have me bumfuzzled! It is not set up like it use to be and I am not use to it. I have a lot of coins I will be putting up for sale for an older couple, so I hope I can get used to it, and FAST!

My Recent Purchase

I have been a antique enthusiast as long as I remember and a metal detectorist of 2 or 3 years now. Recently on eBay, I bought something that tickles my fancy in both subjects: this old deed. I bought this 1830 deed because it describes a piece of land on the Fisher River somewhere in my locale. I am hoping this old document can lead me to a treasure!(Or at least a coin or two) :-)

As of right now, I am trying to decipher the beautiful script of the early 19th century calligraphy. Their hand-writing fascinates me with all the little twirls and hooks. Only fountain and quill pens can make the lines have different thicknesses. Modern ball-points can only make same sized lines.

Found and Indian hiding among the Wheat

I went detecting up at the old house again today. This time, I ran across a 1902 Indian head penny. Pretty cool! I also found the normal wheaties.

A Wheatie-filled Day

I went metal detecting at an old house I have been hunting for the past month or so. I found 8 wheat pennies. I used a different setting on my metal detector, so that must have helped in finding them.

Trashed Votes

After looking over many of the major political forums, I have come to the conclusion that people are not going to vote their conscience because they say that they are going to throw away their votes. I have read many an entry that says they will not vote 3rd party because it will be a waste of their vote, so they are going to vote for either McCain or Obama. They would rather vote for the liar than vote for the person they know is right because they believe that the person cannot win. But, doesn't that defeat the purpose of even voting at all? If you do not vote your conscience, you are not voting for who you think should be president. If everyone would change their state of mind and realize if they would vote for the 3rd party choice they wanted, instead of one of the two major "lesser of two evils", we could have a 3rd party president and put this country back on the right track. People need to wake up to this and realize you can't throw a vote in the trash if you are voting you conscience and voting for what you think is right!

'Family Guy' links John McCain, Sarah Palin to Nazis?

The newest episode of "Family Guy" entitled "Road to Germany has to be my favorite episode yet. It had several parodies of my most favorite movie trilogy of all time, "Back to the Future." It also had some great political spoofs. Fox had to pull the clip of Stewie finding a McCain-Palin lapel pin on his stolen Nazi coat because it was considered "Copyright infringement." Below is the clip.
