You must be on the same mailing list as me.  I got mine today - eagerly
looked through it and tossed it.  It just seemed *suspicious* - no other
word for it.  Meager descriptions, very little info, and some photos
looked *colorized* - not like they might look in real life.

I think I'll stick to those I know and trust.  Good luck Don, and
Happiest of the Season to all.

way - needless to say, nothing is blooming (LOL).
