All swap flies that I had went out today (19 parcels)..2 tiers flamed
out on us so you should get 19 flies each. Just FYI for U.S.
folks..there were some issues with Priority Mail stamps..the PO would
not accept PM stamps with a date on them, so I ponied up another $3.85
for each one. USPS sez PM stamps with a date on them cannot be used
past that date. This will be my farewell gift to youse guys since this
will be the last swap that I host. This is NOT sour grapes, let me
hasten to add...it's just that now that I'm single again I plan to
spend my winters south, WAY south. (can you spell Guadalajara..Melaque
Beach..Manzanillo?) I used to take my sailboat to Mexico and sail the
winters away, sounds like an even better idea now. It's been fun these
past 5 yrs doing this, I hope someone carries this on. (you listening
Timmaay?) ;-) BTW Mu, Wayno got your extra flies as requested. Any
extra flies I'm gonna keep and see that my grandson gets them. If you
really want your extras returned, send me a SASE with a request for
same.

Priority mail has to be the biggest ripoff the PO offers. It's essentially
first class handling for parcels.

I paid about $1.50 to mail the pack to you first class, and added a little
extra to the SASE in case the returned flies were a little heavier than
mine. There was no date stamp.

In any case, thanks for running the swap.
