Don’t credit me with any of that. It was all **deedeeknowit** ’s doing. All I did was mail it along with my package. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > All I did was mail it along with my package. Which arrived today! Actually, I think it was delivered yesterday, but I finally got to check it out today. A cool shot glass (Vegas, baby!), some odds and ends including a keychain (I’m a collector), some rum to test the glass with, and a leather-wrapped hip flask! Now I need to go camping so I can test the flask (yeahyeah, I know I don’t need an excuse). We’re moving this weekend and spent yesterday signing paperwork, hence my tardiness getting to my package. Mine is packaged and taped and labeled, I just need to get it to the post office. I’ll do that tomorrow AM if all goes well. Thanks, **silenus!** ---

Package dropped off at the post office this morning. It’s now heading off to far away lands. Postmaster said it should be 3-5 days travel time. ---

Hey, remember when I was all “It’ll go out tomorrow!” like, a week ago? Yeah…about that… It actually went off today. But I’m in the same postal area, so it’ll be there Wednesday! ---

The shot glasses have been baptized and were used to toast the plaque and what it stands for. It will reside in a place of honor when we finally get the sun room/tiki bar finished. Thank you! ---

I sent my package out on Friday. It’s got a big ocean to cross so it might take a little while. From past experience no more than a couple of weeks. In the interests of full disclosure I had tell the post office person a porky pie about the contents, so if on the off chance it gets destroyed, I will absolutely make it good for my recipient. I’ve never had spirits pulled up in the last 4 or 5 times I’ve done this so fingers crossed. On a related note, is it that hard to understand ABV? I had to argue with the postal worker that two bottles of beer\* at 6% ABV does not add up to a total 12% ABV for the package. Relevant because there are restrictions on the ABV allowable by mail. - This was the fib, it is not beer in the box, but I figured on an X-ray you can’t tell the difference.
