    15 Year Anniversary Gift From my Wife

    I’ve never seen a meerschaum & tamper set. That’s way cool. Keep her close and happy. She doesn’t sound replaceable.

    It might be the most regularly defaced monument in the world as many monuments in Bulgaria are to the Soviet Red Army (- in fact, Bulgaria is the only country in Europe whose largest monument in the country, not this one but another, is to a foreign army). Here’s some of the most significant...
