There is such a thing as stamp news, and it's usually rather benign!   As was the recently released USPS sky-blue stamp, featuring "an illustration of a plane skywriting the word love.”   Awww, all the heart eyes.   If only love stamps had the power to solve the world's problems?     story

THE PROBLEM WITH JOE

We got issues in L.A., and one of them is finding a parking space at a Trader Joe's!  For that matter parking at a Trader Joe's anywhere seems a pain in the seat belt.  And Trader Joe's is Yumsville, if you didn't know.  BuzzFeed "compiled a list of '23 Hilariously Accurate Tweets About Trader Joe's Parking Lot.' "   File this under first world problems, but still.  #ineedmytraderjoes    story

Not sure how much Black Friday'ing you did.   But know "some of those Black Friday "deals" are not deals at all.   In fact, you could end up spending more for an item."   A WalletHub report "has some hard and fast figures to back that up."     . . . Oh heck, you guys know this.   Keep your eye on the ball.    news
