as a retired postal worker(42 yrs.) i feel we get a bap rap most of the time. for the amount of packages we handle,loss is minimal. if you think USPS is bad,just try some of the other countries in the world. WE ARE THE BEST!
same with me,lenny. used my son's paypal because i don't know how to get one. but in the end he'll wind up with it and my carmeli. the main thing is we have a copy.
jim is one of the former marines i met(cameron cues was another). jim,sorry but glad for you to hear you are retiring. i was thinking if i bought another cue it would be from you. good luck with retirement,you deserve it.
i had the guys at joe blackburn do a leather wrap on my Carmeli. don't think it was joe who actually did it. i'm pleased with the work. if you look closely you can spot the seam,but can't feel it. $125
i also met joeya at SBE yesterday. turns out we're former marines together. also met a few other former marines. i had a blast. got a leather wrap for my carmeli for my major purchase.
trob said it right. last year was my first SBE and i was in absolute awe of the magintude of the two floors. have to admit petroni banging his head on the table was unbeliveable. anyone who has any interest in pool will be in "hog heaven"
back in the middle 60's(surprised i can still remember that far back) "rotation slim" hustled at our local room. i still remember him as making shots that were bizarre. he was side betting on shots. probably took a few thousand out of there for one nite's work.
i had the good fortune to see Rotation Slim play in the middle sixties. he impressed the hell outa me then and now that i know what pool is all about,i'm even more amazed. he made shots that were un freaking believable. his uncle shoots with us at our local hall.
