Some might not believe it, but I remember putting 4 cent stamps on letters. I just found out that they are raising the price of a stamp a nickle. That is a penny more than my stamps when I was but a boy.

Now, after all this time, the stamp will be a mere 73 cents, almost three quarters. I’m not even going to try to figure the yearly percentage but I figure it is quite a bit. It does make me wonder if I should forget the whole stock market thing and invest in stamps. I wonder if that’s legal.

Now let’s see. For 100 stamps, that’s 73 dollars, right? Maybe. As I get older, I have more problems wtih math, especially the basic kind.
