unnamedOver there on the right is the newest member of the PK guitar dynasty.  A 2014 Les Paul Signature in Caribbean Blue (with the plastics swapped out to white).

C'mon - it had been a year since I first had problems buying a Lester - did you really think I was going to go without a new LP for another year?  Fat chance.

I got it from ZZounds - they come highly recommended from this here site.  (Click it to zoom in).

Links We Liked!

  • Ben Affleck... banned at the Hard Rock for card counting in Blackjack?  Maybe he should have played the gifted math mind in Good Will Hunting.  Got to respect the Batman, though.
  • Our pal Jason Hull may or may not be a newly minted Millionaire; you'll have to find out when he appears on TV in the near future.
  • Len Penzo grades your Personal Finance prowess - bad news, you got a bad grade!
  • Save. Spend. Splurge. is the only site allowed to do list posts (the trick - they aren't really list posts, just numbered points!).  Here's one on coddling kids.  North America - we need to step up our game.
  • Political Calculations does the math on sexual assaults on campus - enter in your assumptions on the percentage of sexual assaults that are reported and your hard data on the assaults reported, and out pops the percentage of students in danger of assault.  Included are the numbers for the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
  • Our friend Matt at Mom and Dad Money posted about doing the math on a rent vs. own decision - how long would you need to live somewhere before you'd be better off than renting? (Of course, we've got to plug our math on how primary-home-buying isn't an investment).
  • At Cashville Skyline, an interesting post on taking responsibility for your parents' finances.
