Wanna read about my year in postage?

@Predrag-KIA just sounds funnier to me. I think most used Kias would actually be cheaper in the US than many American brands.
@MH-it's all relative I guess, the amount we pay. While I think the total is a lot, and I'd wish to pay less, it's just what I do. It's just the price I have to pay to be in the game this way. I could send less, but what fun is in that? I'm sure my total was just as much last year and will be more in the coming year.
@Zorica-thanks for reading.
@Bradford-no postage needed in deed, but all of these short things I write I make formats for and print out, and then mail. So although this one is technically free to communicate, it will have a physical life for a couple months to come.
@Katerina-They might be going away, but I'm pumping more and more quarters into them. Have a great holiday, Katerina.
Loved the blog, thanks for posting notice here (no postage needed for that).
Epicenter or ground zero?
The blues, man. Heavy blues!
A wise person is always questioning things. Is everyone susceptible to instant gratification?
Money gains value only when you spend it.
I’ll stay silent on the topic of trash, because I'm sick of the hypocritical environmentalists.
Great text, by the way.
(Even though Google Translate was totally boycotting me 😂).
Maybe we should think about this:
Your post has 177 views. The average views here is 6. (Sorry, I’m not deliberately checking that, just professional deformationfrom a past life 😂).
Greetings from Serbia.
Reading this makes my own postage expenses feel both excessive and amateurish at the same time. Which is probably the correct position.
Quite interesting ! Why you are mentioning KIA ? Isn`t it better to buy Chevrolet, or Ford, or any other American car? For the sake of parts, it would be much easier, than to import parts from South Korea.
