> [@jackdavinci](#): > > Excellent! Don’t know how I missed that. Did the special scent option work? It was supposed to smell like “ocean breeze”. I meant to come back and post about it. What a hoot! It had a little scratch & sniff sticker on it. Not sure that it was exactly ocean breeze, but pleasant and not overwhelming… ---

I had a lovely Mountie from **FloatyGimpy** in the mail today, and the stamp has (I think) a moose on it. Or is it caribou? I’m not sure and the postmark has gone right over it so I can’t see it all that clearly. Maybe I should put my specs on first, right? ---
