Can't wait to see 'em.

I forget if it was George S. Patton or Dick Van Patten who said, "It is better to have bid for something than have lived for nothing."

That's OK Phil,
you were sensible,
you just lost caretaker rights for a few years, that's all

There's always something else in philately
stay cool.
