SUPER STAMP SUNDAY (HALLOWEEN)

I know it's not Sunday, but I couldn't resist posting this really cool US postage stamp from the Classic Hollywood Monsters series (first issued by the U.S. Postal Service in 1997) just in time for Halloween.

There were five monsters to choose from: Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, The Phantom of the Opera, and Frankenstein's Monster.

Anybody still remember the days when the cost of a postage stamp was just 32 cents, and snail mail had not yet become a thing of the past? Oh well at least most folks still send out their Christmas cards the old fashioned way. Plus the utility bills never stop coming.

I'd best hurry up and grab a pumpkin at the grocery store before it's too late. There were only a few sad and neglected looking ones left at Safeway (last time I checked). But rumor has it that there's still plenty of fresh pumpkins on sale at Fred Meyer, so I'm gonna go for it. Hope you have a Spooktacular Halloween!

P.S. I'm officially launching my Super Stamp Sunday posts on November 2nd, so if you are a lover of U.S. postage stamps (or just curious as hell) be on the lookout. Can you figure out (no help from Google) which awesome rock star from the late 1960s is finally going postal? Here's a little haiku hint for you:

PIECE OF HER HEART

Afraid and lonely
A wallflower from Texas
Bloomed into a rose
