I can't be bothered with eBay. I already gave a bunch of military books to
the Parris Island library. These are more like novels.

I'm sure I'll remember the Christmas decorations. I grew up with them and
they're nearly as old as I am, if not older. They probably still have fake
"snow" on them. (They used to sell that stuff in spray cans.) I'll find
out soon enough.
