The last time I saw Neil, he asked me if I remembered the postcards. I said of course, of course, of course. He sent me great ones when he was down in Florida. They were all old, vintage cards and if they weren't as beautiful as a work of art, they were hilarious.

What, you've never seen Mrs. Maude Black's sausage tree before?

Look at this girl and her come-hither look + oranges approach. I've been admiring her outfit for over 20 years, now.

And hey, Neil V: The back of this sea turtles one says, in part, "If you see my cousin Neil, ask him to tell you about the time we were chasing a sea turtle down in St. Thomas." I never did ask you about that. Do tell. (Also, looking forward to seeing you next weekend.)

wow, did people used to eat sea turtles? sea turtle soup?
Definitely; they hauled in the 300-pound, 200-year-old guys in big nets. Nowadays they're a protected species in many places -- the Bahamas just banned sea-turtle fishing this month -- so we mostly eat freshwater specimens.
You can get farmed ones in Chinatown.
just three boys snorkling in st. thomas for a month trying to out swim the wild turtles- maybe ride them around atlantis- hunt up some sexy mermaids-
beyond this obvious- no idea
but i never tasted no turtle
