I was looking at a very interesting video on this famous American Physicist and Nobel Laureate I was pleased to find out that he was also an ardent philatelist.  For those of you interested here is a video on this remarkable new- renaissance man:  |

It seems to me, philately is favoured by those whom like to chatter internally. Yet when I meditate, I have to attempt to end the endless conversations of the mind. A delicious dichotomy. |

Thanks Perfs, watched a little (very interesting) but had to end, >2Gb would impede my monthly download limit. BTW i always suffered under a monthly download limit until recently - I joined up with Mynetphone using a Naked DSL connection ( since I canceled my landline years ago as being entirely useless and expensive they were able to use it for Internet use only and so it's a fast connection) I pay less than my previous wireless connection which limited me to 10Gb - now I get 200Gb for ~$50/m I have yet to use all of it although I watch movies and Youtube almost 24/7. Worth looking into: Mynetphone |

Thanks Naked DSL is not available in my area. One of the few negatives, living in the peaceful, quiet, country. |

Sorry to hear it, as you say: the disadvantages outweigh the advantages - peace is good because it's, well...peaceful |

Tuva or Bust!: Richard Feynman's Last Journey"As a stamp-collecting boy always fascinated by remote places, Nobel Prize–winning physicist Richard Feynman was particularly taken by the diamond-shaped stamps from a place called Tannu Tuva deep within Outer Mongolia. He hoped, someday, to travel there." Doesn't every stamp collector love Tuva?

Doesn't every stamp collector love Tuva? ....and may I add, all designed by a woman  Madame Olga Amossova and for the record, I have been outbid on Madame's set, the last 3 times they have come up for auction. |

What I collect: Worldwide USED up to the 1960's, later years from countries that came into existence after then, like Anguilla, Tuvalu and Transnistria.

And not to be confused with Tuvalu!
