    Junk store find

    My current rotation includes an old Frank Medico, a Finsbury II and my favorite Jet Stream with a bent stem. If these were my only three pipes I'd be quite satisfied. Next week it'll be three others though.

    Larry/Puffy Is Back Home

    Glad to hear he's doing well at home and in good spirits. Hospitals are not the most restful place. (Unless you like to be woken up to take your sleeping pill) Home is much better.

    I Bought A Pack Of Dill's Pipecleaners At Kroger Tonight

    easterntraveler, you don't see a problem in being asked for ID to buy pipe cleaners? Anytime anyone asks me for my papers they better have a good reason. I don't blame anybody except voters and politicians for stuff like this.
