There are only three of these aircraft in existence today. This is the beginning story of one them.

I do encourage anyone with a love of history and research to join me in a slow thread (to solve a mystery).

I absolutely refuse to polar plunge the Icicle River this year.
I'm done with hiking down that snowy trail only to be happy to see moving water, and wondering if I've locked myself out of the truck, or where the keys really are.

eh.

maybe.

nah.

eh.

Remembering a towel might help.

This week, we update our interactive map featuring postcards from prewar Japan with a touch of color and some new functionality. The result should be a more natural browsing experience.
You can read more about the reasoning and try it for yourself at historyinpostcards.com/news/20251101/

Al mijn jaren eindigden in een bevroren winterzon met gloeiende tinten blauw, roze en ijs.

Pour ceux qui cherchent où étaient la polémique catho-intégriste 2025 sur Halloween, c'était à Montpellier, pour le final d'un festival à la Maison des Chœurs (ancienne chapelle de l'Hôpital général). #Halloween

Montpellier : "événement sataniste", une polémique pas très catholique autour du festival Ex Tenebris Lux

Le festival Ex Tenebris Lux fait face à une polémique inattendue venue de catholiques relayés par la fachosphère. La Ville de Montpellier soutient totalement les organisateurs.

Sometimes a man wakes up on Saturday morning, plods sleepily into the kitchen, fills his coffee mug, sits down on his living-room couch, thrusts his hand into a giant bag of unsorted on-paper stamps, pulls some out, and says, “Hey! Cool hares!” #philately #stampcollecting #haresarenotrabbits

Six blue stamps from Ghana on paper featuring a hare poised on its front legs.

Ach, wie schön wäre es doch, in Europa nach alten Materialien zu suchen… mit freundlichen Grüßen, ein Amerikaner (sogar von der Westküste).

Unglaublich! Ich wünschte, mir würde das auch einmal passieren! Die Bibliothekarin sagt immer nur: „Die habe ich leider verpasst.“ Ich glaube, hier gibt es noch einen anderen Sammler namens Neuman.

Trying to find those at my local library is straight out of an episode of Seinfeld.

Ich habe versucht, das oben Genannte ins Deutsche zu übersetzen, aber es las sich noch lustiger als eine Folge von Seinfeld.

Sur le blog : en 2022, le Mémorial de la Shoah et l'artiste C215 ont rappelé la mémoire des enfants déportés par les autorités françaises et nazies en plaçant leurs portraits sur des boites aux lettres du centre de Paris. #postboxsaturday #boiteauxlettres

Wer hätte das gedacht. Seit langem mal wieder in der Bücherei gewesen. Bücher-Flohmarkt. Alles gegen beliebige Spende. Habe ein paar Michel Kataloge gefunden, die auf Ebay bestimmt noch je 10-20 Euro gekostet hätten. Habe freiwillig 10 Euro gespendet.

Bought these because they weren't identified and the seller had lost patience trying. I'm like, "no bother, I love that kind of stuff."
They remain unidentified and I (often lose patience trying).
It's a tradition apparently.

I just had the thing. Set something down for a minute and....

Brb.

If your stamp collection was a bag of Halloween candy what would be your equivalent of a king size candy bar?

Turns out, 1876 must have also had a sense of humor.

Apparently, a well timed, "I'm old enough to remember elevator music", is just as humorous to others as naming the song in an elevator back in the day.

Technically speaking, I wouldn't even need the slot in the door.

if you have a slot for letters in your front door you technically live inside a mailbox

I'm starting an album specifically for philatelic humor.

Granted, B1 and 2 on cover...- they must have run out of space to mention that part.

Ja, en... alleen als er een stad gered moet worden.

Kind-hearted #BlueJays fan gives young Yankees fan the Judge home run ball he caught.

That’s us….just spreading joy wherever we go. 😂

That is why he hates us so much, we are the antithesis of him. 🇨🇦
