This Site Has My "Stamp" of Approval

Don't ask me why, but I'm tickled to find this site out there: The Mailbox Locator

Find a mailbox pretty much anywhere in the U.S. Find mailboxes by state, city, or by zip code. Click on a particular mailbox and get the pick-up times, a map of the location, and other pertinent details.

What a blast! (Yes, I know you're wondering why I have so much time on my hands!)

Still, it's worth a visit now and then. It could just come in handy if you've got an important letter or package to mail and need to find the nearest mailbox and best pick-up times.

Check it out!

P.U.M.A.S.

If you're interested in Math, Science, and making the learning of same more "practical" for students (and probably everyone!), you should visit this NASA-sponsored site called P.U.M.A.S. The acronym stands for:


This seems like an eminently good idea to me. Maybe that conviction reflects my school experience with those subjects that seemed not very related to real life (at least as I defined "life" as a student).

Still, this is a great site and a great idea!

More Leonardo

I've written about Leonardo da Vinci before but I've come across another online exhibit that seems too good to pass up.

Currently on display at the Alfred and Victoria Museums is a wonderful Leonard da Vinci exhibit. Since the actual museum is in Britain, click here to transport yourself virtually to the exhibit.

You won't regret another encounter with this incredible artist, engineer, and creator.
