Zazzle & Citgo

December 21, 2005 | Category: Public Service Announcement

OK. So we got a card in the mail from a family member on it the other day, and guess who was on the stamp? My beloved uncle, who passed away last May.

Now, Uncle Mike was WAY loved - but I had no idea he'd reached Elvis-like status. Turns out, that Zazzle, an online photo-stuff company, will allow you to make your own postage stamps - and they're legal!! (You probably know that I am recovering from a Shutterfly addiction - so this news ain't good for me!)

Also? Citgo Gas (which is run by the Venezualan Government) has made a deal to assist the people of New England with low-cost oil this winter and a lot of people are recommending that Americans support that decision with their wallets - by switching to Citgo. I know I will when possible.

A caveat - Venezuala President Chavez is doing this act of kindness partially to push a modern socialist agenda, as a counterpoint to President Bush and the American Government pushing a capitalist agenda around the world. If you're a staunch Republican, you may want to wear a disguise while pumping your gas. :) Me? I'm all about the warm being brought to folks who can't afford it.
