Today in a museum in Salzburg, Austria I encountered one of Mozart's tobacco carriers, a little oval lidded container made from silver and what looked like polished agate. The sign for it said Mozart was often gifted with such things after playing engagements, and that as an adult he 'enjoyed a pipe of good tobacco' on a regular basis.

Because sometimes the body just wants canned fish.

"Good enough" is a false idol. Beware those that preach its virtue.

There were actually a few reasons for this trip, but the graduation seemed like the most obvious. Wife has been trying to make this happen for a few years now. We also have family in Europe that were overdue for a visit from us.Kevin Keith wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 5:55 pm When my daughter graduated, we went to Red Lobster. lol

That's cool! The importance of a family vacation is huge. Glad you are having a good time and stumbling across tobacco stuffs in unexpected places
