DDFS Flies Are Here

Mine arrived a while ago, but I've only just now had time to look
through them carefully.....

.... apparently I was the only person not to receive the memo asking that
the flies be works of art, suitable for framing.....

.... a number of sure-fire fish-catchers in here too.....

Thanks to all for the flies, and to Tim for a job well done.

Woo Woo! Its the Dog Days of Winter and I got a good case of flies
in the mail.

Yeah, I'll watch the calendar a little better next year.

Along with a rude cartoon supposedly depicting my
chosen profession in a less than wonderful light

For those without telepathetic abilities,

coffee.

and, last but not
least, a special set of Australian marital aides.

I hope you don't mind, Tony, but I passed some of the emu feathers on to
Frank. Very interesting feathers, and I've never tied anything calling
for emu, so I thought I'd have the guy with the vivid imagination come
up with a few. We may have you in the feather export business in the
near future.

Cool beans! Thanks Tim.

Really, it's my pleasure. I find these small swaps to be very
therapeutic, and this batch is so varied and well-tied that it made it
all the more fun. Today a trip to the post office is in order to mail
off the flies to Petah, Tony, and Eddie. Once the USPS figures out how
to do international shipping online, it won't be so much of a problem.
Right now, all they have available online are the super-expensive
methods.

Done. They were sent AirMail and should arrive in five to ten days. Please
let me know when they arrive. The only batch I'm holding now is Myron's
and we'll remedy that when he comes to the US or gives me other
instructions.

I'll know in a few days if I'm coming to the US next month or not....we're
getting email contacts constantly about jobs, and we're even being
interviewed for a school in China tonight by the headmaster who is in Congo
to interview for taking over this school. If all works out, we won't have
to come to the US at all, and will save ourselves a few grand. We're still
crossing fingers for Bulgaria, though.

Do you think sticking them in a ziplock, then in a padded envelope would
work for mailing them USPS to here, Tim?

The last few I've sent internationally have been USPS Air Mail and I've
had good luck, but (insert usual disclaimers here.)

.. . . and what about the beer?

Okay, then. Let me get back to you later this week about possibly mailing
them.

Yum. Beer.
