I had wanted a picture of the U.S. $20 bill. I wanted to scan one (just for
the picture of Andrew Jackson; why I wanted that will have to wait) but
since neither Spring nor I had one, I decided to look
for one on the Internet, so I figured the best place to start would be the
U.S. Treasury.
Instead I come across the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service
Public Sales Listing and imagine my surprise when I see a page selling
Nuclear Ordnance
Equipment. Just like that. Nuclear Ordnance
Equipment. Nestled between Weapons and Accessories and Fire
Control Equipment.
Um …
So I check three items marked under Nuclear Ordnance Equipment and
fortunately it didn't seem like anything was available. Of course,
now my IP address is associated
with checking for the existance of Nuclear Ordnance Equipment so I
guess I can expect a visit by some serious men in business suits and dark
glasses …
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
