Play Monopoly? It’s been a long time since I played. It's a favorite if you were not rushed for time. Remember how you get $200 for just passing “GO”? Sure would be nice to find a pass “GO” station on the tollway. If you travel to Mrs. 4444’s blog you will find she has passed the 200 FF posting mark. 200 FF posts are worth more than 200 Monopoly bills.
Want to buy some drachmas? Many of you are so sick of hearing bad economic news that you have tuned it out long ago. If you pick-up any investment related news then you probably heard about the Euro crisis. Now on the business channels you hear the word drachma come up because Greece may reach the point of being tossed out of the Eurozone.
Back when I travel on business I usually kept a few bills and coins instead of converting them back and paying another fee. Because of the Euro creation much of my currency collection is no longer official currency. I might be able to find some buyers on ebay.
My wife and I went to Starved Rock state park on Memorial Day. They built a new visitor center since we were there last. I plan to post a few of the pictures from the trails soon.
I claim that my wife tried to ditch me on the trails while I was photographing a stream. I continued down a trail for awhile before calling her cellphone. I was relieved that she answered. She had reversed direction and passed me without making verbal or eye contact. The whole mixed up was due to collective assumptions.

Don’t miss a once-in-a-lifetime event in space -
Next Tuesday evening a planetary alignment will occur that will not happen again until 2117. Venus will line up between Earth and Sun. It's called transit. I hope to watch this black dot cross the sun surface. This alignment never took place during the whole 1900's. It will be the evening of June 5th for North America and the morning of June 6th for Asia. Being the non-morning person this timing works great for me.
Hey perhaps a future reader will read this post in some digital archive as evidence that there was some common interest in space events back in 2012.
Oh be safe. Staring directly into the sun could permanently blind you. The first included link shows a simple binocular method of projecting the image that I hope to use. Here are a few Venus transit links:
