I recently bought on eBay a beautiful set of cats from Poland, from 1964 (which is celebrating its 60th anniversary!), which I will frame and
give as a gift to my 14-year-old niece.

This may be how I am arousing her interest in stamp collecting.

When I think that at her age, when I started to take an interest in
stamps, the 60-year-old stamps dated from... the year 1900.

How time flies with stamp collecting...

I used to collect U.S. mint stamps. When the US Postal Service (USPS)
started issuing definitives with slight changes, that meant I had to buy
more just to keep my collection truly complete. Then there were the "commemoratives" that featured things that did not justify
commemoration. I realized that the USPS had its hand on my wallet, so I stopped collecting.

Demonstrators worldwide are demanding that Israel stop
fighting in Gaza. Why does it seem that no one is demanding
that Hamas stop fighting? And where are the demonstrations
against Russia fighting in the Ukraine.
