In other news, I just won 8 packs of the latest Pokemon set in a "Dutch Auction" ... which is a strange thing where you bid an amount and a quantity ... it appears that I was the only person bidding, so I'm sort of kicking myself that I didn't go in for the minimum, but, as it was, I got the win for a whole 80¢ more than what the minimum would have been. This wasn't a "steal", but the total with shipping came out, per pack, at about 1/3 less than the lowest "retail" I can find (and that's the price before shipping), and they're certainly coming in at less than half of what "store cost" runs around here (and it's more Xmas for Daughter #1, so I'm inclinded to splurge ... if getting something at a deep discount is "splurging"!).
Life imitates ... well, commerce?

If the snow gets any heavier, it will be a moot point about me doing more of these pics ... at the moment I can't even see the Hancock (or even 900…
