This is less than I would pay at a swapmeet or @ a live-colonel auction.

Bidding online is just a trade off of color, soul, and other rich intangibles.

Snipping (with a mad-man-in-the-clock-tower connotation) is a fair name for this unpleasant practice..... (or so he says---all the while reloading)

I agree, though, with Chuck, that it seems to be the only way to get the gavel bid. But not because anyone might ever be tracking my bid. Its only because the guy whose bid I just topped, so often wants to come back bidding higher than he knows he should. I'd rather not give him the opportunity to be foolish.

And speaking of foolish--what the heck did I just buy? I've been flipping through all the 30's veloretro stuff i've got and turning nothing up. Am I way off?

I'm sitting here still listening to whatever tv news is coming in....now Tom Clancy is getting near beligerent with Charlie Rose.....He's angry sure. We're all angry or at least stunned. I've been at the edge of a radio or web all day......

About to shower when NPR reported on a Palestinian refugee camp getting shelled and then mentioned a possible plane accident at the WTC....

I was in tight fast traffic when the 1st collapse occurred... to remain steady I had to turn it off briefly....

I was about to go to a meeting when I heard about the missing firefighters & cops..... I postponed it.

My wife called just after a cop was describing some disturbing stuff I won't repeat here..... she agreed to call back.

I was raised to understand the importance of composure. but this kind of tragedy can shake up most all of us.

And now Tom Clancy losing it on Charlie Rose.... Enough already.....I need some sleep. I might go for a wee dram and then just ponder some ride route.
