It works great with road trips. While my hubby is driving, I'm sorting my stamps into envelopes marked with --"Needs soaked", "Keep with entire cancel" for those neat Cat in the Hat Postal Cancels, etc, and then envelopes with countries marked on them. I can get a lot done while on a "Road Trip"! My hubby calls them "Stamp Trips"!

Sounds like fun gussy

You must be pretty agile sorting in a moving vehicle I drop mine sorting at a stationary table

I read Linns and auction catalogs while I am sitting at the red lights in Cambridge. Sometime the traffic is so bad that I have to wait for two to three changes of the light to make it through, so it keeps me sane (or a least partially so). Hmmm, never thought of sorting stamps... maybe I should bring a stamp album on the commute with me.

I can see it now t360. You can hang a wire through pulleys on the mirror and the back glass and hang little country cups from them. then at every stop light (or while doing 70 down the I-state) you just pull the cord around until you have the right cup.

I have a colleague in the next town, who buys cartons at auction,
then he and his wife take them on holdays in the caravan and have
"sort nights".

If I sorted on the move (as when I try to read a book) after 10 mins
I would begin to feel nauseous with the movement of the vehicle.
