Well....he's a collector! Those action figures may very well be worth a good deal of money some day!:)
Oo-yeah...! I was reading the Pastry Chef's Q and A at the White House website the other day; fascinating for foodies.
I like the photo of Laura with the pooches, as well as everything else. The First Family deserves a wonderful Christmas!!
Yeah...yeah..collector! LOL! He really does love them. I think DIL thinks he's nuts. He also loves Legos! The sets. They will probably be worth something someday, but he is filling bookcases with them now! :o)

COAST GUARD IDENTIFIES BROOKINGS, ORE., HOAX CALLERS
SEATTLE - The
Coast Guard has identified three teenagers suspected of making four hoax
calls in Brookings Harbor, Ore., which expended several thousand dollars
during more than 20 hours of searching by Coast Guard and local
responders.
Anonymous callers provided crucial tips that led to the
teenagers and will receive a Crime Stoppers reward.
The first hoax
call was received by the Coast Guard in early October from an individual
claiming to be on a disabled recreational vessel. For nine hours, two
47-foot motor lifeboats and a mobile shore unit from Coast Guard Station
Chetco River, Ore., and an HH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Coast Guard Air
Station North Bend, Ore., searched for a boater in distress.
In mid
October and again at the end of October, the Coast Guard received radio
transmissions from vessels claiming to be in distress and in need of
assistance. During those cases, two 47-foot motor lifeboats, three
mobile land units and a 25-foot response boat were launched to assist.
The Curry County Sheriff and Brookings Police assisted the Coast Guard
with the investigation.
The Coast Guard, in collaboration with
other federal, state and local agencies, is considering enforcement
options.
Media interested in conducting interviews about these hoax
cases should contact Master Chief Dunn at (541) 469-2242.
The Coast
Guard reminds individuals that false distress calls place unnecessary
risk on would-be rescuers and interfere with legitimate search and
rescue cases. False calls also cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually. It costs approximately $1,200 per hour to operate a
Coast Guard 47-foot motor lifeboat, while a helicopter or larger cutter
may cost from $9,000 to $12,000 an hour.
