    Default Gift from Normandy

    A very good friend sent me some sand from Omaha Beach. That friend was Darin here from the board!!!

    I can't say how much this means to me. And what this sand is and represents and where it came from. A little encapsulated vial of sand. The things that it may have seen is just incredible.

    Thanks so much, Darin!!!

    Haha, my mail is better!

    Just kidding my friend. At least yours didn't go through several polluted mail offices in NY prior to arrival.

    Do your postmen sprint around making their deliveries to stay ahead of the muggers around NYC?

    Well, I'm actually above NYC, but I would imagine they would! But that's why they don't start delivery until it's bright and shiny, and then call it a day no matter what before the sun goes down! The criminal bastards, the majority of them are like Dracula and like to perform their magic in the dark of night.
