Load It

There is so much content embedded in this blog especially the slide shows to your right & the media embedded with the posts below it could take up to 30 seconds to load it depending on your computer/speed.
Sometimes hitting refresh or scrolling up n' down a few times helps the content to load.
If you're looking at this on your mobile device some content specifically embedded slide shows
or videos may not be viewable.
I have been trying to solve this issue.
The blog is visually amazing when viewed on a lap or desktop. Click through the various posts
available as you continue to scroll below or in the
monthly archives in the right column.
After more than 7 years I rarely blog here
except to update posts however
EVERYTHING that can or cannot be seen are available here:

Jim Trimble For Sale...Maybe Not.

Very rare and all original 1964 Jim Trimble Montreal Alouettes Signed CFL Letter. He was the head coach... Condition of the letter is EX + + and the signature is very clean and clear. Please note that this letter was signed by his secretary.
WHAT? So, it's 100 bucks to buy a " very rare & original," letter signed by Jim's secretary?
WOW! That's some profitable penmanship.

Here's a real Eagle's autograph currently being sold for $25.00:
