More cards

Even though I will be in Chicago during the Nationals, and it free for me to get in, I will very likely not be attending this year. That said, I'm purchasing a lot of cards the last couple of days. 81 cards to be exact for only $11. Makes me wonder if the Baseball Card market is crashing. Every time I accumulate a lot of cards for very little, I don't complain. Mostly because I don't sell and I don't collect to profit. I just love Baseball and I just love baseball cards. Here are some Chicago White Sox, Stl Cardinals, and Chicago Cubs cards I picket up today. Also got a few HoF and All-star players.

A few good cards picked up

- 1983 Donruss Lee Smith (Cubs) - HoF

- 1993 Topps Ryne Sandberg - All Star Card (Cubs) - HoF

- 1989 Donruss Carlton Fisk (White Sox) -  HoF

- 1987 Dwight Goodwin (Mets) -

Baseball card database update and other stuff.

Topic: Personal
I promised Maddison and Paige I would watch My Hero Academia. It is important for them that I see this show with them, so I'm going to give it a try.

Topic: Baseball Cards
I have moved all my code to point to my internal photo database. I have hundreds of photos up and I'm surprised on how little space it is taking up. Even though I have a fraction of the material up on my site, I will probably start to remove more photos from Flikr now.

Topic: Linux
There has been a very productive stream of development on the FVWM 3 front. I would not be surprised if there is not a Beta put out by the end of February.

Topic: Mustang
If there is one thing I would want to change about my Mustang, it would be the shifting. It is by far not the worst stick I have ever driven (1969 Chevy Camaro was), but it is far from the best. Seriously, that Camaro stick and clutch REALLY sucked. I found a fairly inexpensive short throw for my car at only $90-$110. But once I watched the video on how to replace and install, well, I guess my shifter is good enough. :P
