Coccyx fractures hurt like hell, and take forever to heal. I think they are beaten only by multiple robin fractures. You can choose to stand for awhile, but you can’t stop breathing for very long. Glad to hear she is better.

Very painful indeed plus radiating pain down the legs which makes standing as difficult as sitting. Thanks.

Final smoke today is Robert McConnell‘a Regent Street in my trust Pete at the Spanish Steps in Rome. I sat next to a guy here with his family who lives 3 houses away from me in my small town. What are the odds of that!

It really is a small world! I've never met anyone who lived that close to me in my travels but have met a number of people who lived within a half-hour's drive of my home in Southern California.

KBV Samsun & Delilah in the Radice Clear E pencil Canadian with red brindle stem and SS tenon. This is one Radice that has the look and feel of an artisan made piece.

Pre-inherited my Dad’s 1967 (my year) Browning Superposed last year-waiting impatiently for even target loads to come down under $15/box around here (was $25 6 weeks ago)

They weren't cheap. Right at 24 bucks with tax. I don't think we'll see 15 in the near future.

Yes. One of the best values in American made pipes if you ask me...

Dang that stem is so shinny it looks like one of the new acrylics stems. Nicely done!

I had some Broken Flake #7 in a Molina volcano while washing the cars. Funny thing happened and of course my wife was there to see it all unfold. I turned to get a towel just at the right moment when a small gust of wind hit me. An ember flew out and went straight into my eye and I mean a big enough piece for her to see it. Oh man did that hurt. To be clear, my wife is supportive of my smoking pipes, but I did get a look and a be more careful and she was nice enough to get the tobacco out of my eye.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm about half way through this bowl of Drucquer & Sons Ltd. The Merry Monk in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Ready to watch the Braves-D-Backs game while I work on a review of this blend.
