Hagåtña Bay (international price)
90 cents – on sale June 1
The Postal Service will issue this stamp in the Scenic American Landscapes series to honor the Territory of Guam. Located approximately 1,600 miles east of the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean, Guam is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands. Approximately 212 square miles in size — roughly three times the area of Washington, D.C. — Guam is home to a population of approximately 158,000 people, including native Guamanians, known as Chamorro, as well as others of European and Asian descent. Today the island is a popular destination for tourists, with some 1.5 million people visiting the island annually to enjoy its natural beauty. The stamp features a photograph by Michael S. Yamashita of a sunset of Hagåtña Bay in Hagatna, the capital of Guam.

The reports say the photo was taken by Michael S. Yamashita, but I want to know who the lucky runner is?
The latest activity on my list of Ultimate Time Suckers:
Locating and importing album cover art into iTunes.
I've only recently started using Cover Flow, and I really love seeing all the album covers. It's like having a jukebox and art gallery on my desktop. I've never seen most of the artwork because honestly? I can't remember the last time I purchased a real cd. I've spent a lot of money at the iTunes store and I like that it's fast and convenient, but sometimes I miss the liner notes.
The only thing is, whenever a song pops up that doesn't have a cover, it bothers me enough to cause me to stop whatever it is I'm doing at the moment and immediately go locate and import the missing artwork. Fortunately, iTunes locates most of the artwork automagically. I say 'fortunately' because I have about 30 gigs of music spread over three drives. It would be a long, long time before I ever saw the light of day again if I had to locate that much cover art.
