That reminds me. I came home on leave in '98 and my grandparents met me at LAX to take me home. When they greeted me my grandfather was so angry that he had to pay $5 for a Starbucks coffee. He didn't speak for the 3 hour drive home. I felt bad. I don't think he knew how much it was going to cost until they served it up to him. I think he felt obligated to pay since he didn't bother checking to see how much a regular coffee was going to cost.

Gary, if your uniform and gear items are for sale online then send me a link, please.

Nice one, Andy.
