Missed Opportunity
I was shopping on Craigslist for a replacement computer for Mrs. Perils (which I procured - more about that later), when I came across this ad. I’m not sure whether $489,000 is a record for a Craigslist listing or not:

Dang. If I hadn’t opted for the wireless mouse and keyboard on Mrs. Perils’ machine, I’d have had just enough in my PayPal account to cover this purchase. By Tuesday, I’d be flying in Google’s Boeing 767 corporate jet on my way to Mountain View to cash in on my billion-dollar payday, cuz they’d surely buy me instead of competing with me. Now, it looks like my conservative instincts have screwed me. I just never wanted to carry more than half a million in the PayPal account at one time - I’m all about limiting my exposure to identity theft.
I’m sure someone will have snapped it up by Monday.
