+1 on the thanks for a fantastic read. Remembering back to childhood and the voluminous "wish book" that showed up in the mail, perusing the pages for things dreams were made of. Tean age years cought me perusing a different section of the catalogoh how the times have changed. The catalog store in town, my last town, had closed unnoticed to me, until one day I realized it was just gone. Oh well, my nic is happily sleeping in the chest freezer I got from there
( keeping it vape related)

I am familiar with all the aspects of said "wish book" that you speak.

Our ages are showing.
