From: ????????????????? (Allen Childers) Subject: things holy and pure Gentlemen, First off, I would like to say thanks for such a informative website/digest. I'm rather new to the whole internet thing and was pleasantly surprised to find such a wealth of information on my newest hobby/obsession (we have to have a few irons in the fire, now don't we?). The digest takes the edge off what can be a most unpleasant Monday morning. Secondly, I would be interested in meeting other like minded individuals in the San Diego, CA area who currently gather at a local pipe friendly watering hole/or the like, (of course I have to schedule this with the boss i.e. girlfriend), to discuss the finer points of 40 IDA 3C Weber carberators, dangerous game hunting, gardening tips, collecting used pipe cleaners, etc., etc. And finally, (notice a pattern here?) information on the purchase of a calabash (new, used, better than new, only smoked by a little old lady on the way to church on Sundays). Also information from current owners of these types of smoking instruments. You my respond to me directly at: ????????????????? Now where did I put that tin of Dunhill... keep your powder dry, Allan Childers ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U
