Finally something to put into the footlocker. Hardly. These are beautiful hand-knapped arrowheads that WGM made personally. He mailed me the first black, obsidian glass head when he won. It’s an apt artistic expression of the war-like nature needed to pursue our claims. Likewise it’s neighbors which he sent recently after playing Interferon Wheel of Fortune.

What WGM doesn’t realize is I have to find an appraiser to value these items and remunerate him suitably or run the risk of accepting monies for my judicial services to a Vet. As I am unlicensed and not affiliated with any VSO, I am in violation of a million 38 CFRs and will go to Hell.  What am I saying? Hell was predetermined 40 years ago. We’re just arguing which of  Dante’s nine levels now.

In all fairness, I cannot hide these gems. They are being ensconced in a glass picture frame with a dark velvet background and will be placed in our cabinet in the foyer. That’s right. Cupcake made me build her a foyer. I consider it the biggest waste of 16X14 feet I’ve ever seen. Of course, my taste has been determined to reside mostly in my mouth-more so since I quit smoking. Therefore you will not hear me opine on the usefulness of foyers.

Ladies and gentlemen Vets, I introduce you to WGM’s art.

I hold these in trust for all members of HCVets. Other gifts which also have been contributed consist of both the 2010 and 2011 versions of the Veterans Benefits Manual which I pour out onto these pages as frequently as possible. In addition, Cupcake and I were treated to lunch with Peter and his wife as well as a lovely dinner with AZJen’smom and her husband Tom.  Remember, any time you’re in the Emerald City, we’d sure like to strap on the old feed buckets with you. Besides, I need pictures for my Trophy Wall.
