Re: Starport Sagitta Special Services

That would be a great endeavor, except for a couple of things. -This is vacuum forming. While versatile, it doe...

Re: Merry Christmas!

Glad to hear you arrived safe and sound. Looking out the windows (especially if you have no place to go) is sometimes the best way to enjoy winter. I think I'm too old to go out and play in the snow anymore.

Re: Merry Christmas!

Thanks, unseen in the picture, but also on the tie are Rudolph, Hermey, the misfit elf and Sam the snowman.
