There’s no glitch in the matrix

Posted on August 10, 2016 By admin

For the past year or so, I’ve been “arguing” with my folks about a stamp album that I used to have, which they have absolutely no recollection of ever seeing. I’ve been trying to find it on Google and eBay, and it was coming up to the point where I was convincing myself that I had to be wrong, and the rest of the world was right, and maybe somehow I’d just imagined the whole thing. It didn’t seem possible. Well, boo-yah, suck it bitches!!!

My Google-fu has come back, and I managed to find it. Behold, the 1986 Canada Stamp (Scott #1107i) – Henry Hudson / Discovery of the Hudson Bay 34¢, pink print flaw edition.

Scott1107i

and the normal, flawless version:

Scott1107

Notice the lack of the pink blotch, middle-left.

So, hopefully now this will jog my parents’ memory and they’ll remember where they “filed” it :)

Seriously though, it goes to show that the information is out there, but without the right search phrase, you’ll find nothing (or everything else).

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
