Get up early in the morning when it is dark.  Make sure there are no lights
on or other indirect lighting.  (You might need to slide the gun cabinet in
front of the window where the neon light from the girlie bar is visible.)
After the coffee is done, pour yourself a cup.  Set the coffee cup anyplace
in the room.  Turn off the light.  Walk toward the cup.  Even in pitch
darkness your hand will instantly go to the coffee cup.  It's amazing - and
it works every time.

 Is there a coin involved?

With the coffee this morning, before daylight, I checked on eBay to see how
Marine Corps dollars are selling.  Uncertified, run of the mill, Marine
Corps dollars are selling for as little as the issue price.  This is
somewhat unexpected.  The last 70's (grade) I followed went for about $370,
if I remember correctly.  My $200 bid was good for a couple days - till the
serious bidders came along.  Look hard and you'll find there is always coin
involved.

 Eerily enough, I suspected as much.

 I'd elaborate, but I have to get on the ship to Newfoundland now.

You're being deported to Newfoundland?  Oh, the utter disgrace of it...

Forget the Marine coins, I'd pay good money for a pic of Popeye
wielding a hakapik.  Double if he's wearing a funny Canadian hat.

Here's hoping you get lucky in Come By Chance.

If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.

 I'm out on Newfoundland as we speak.

 Pretty cool.

 I saw a seal, tried to get it with the truck but missed (when in Rome).

 Maybe I could buy a hakapik at the marina tomorrow... :-)

Cool... Maybe he can bring me back a white pelt...

Some of those Newfie girls can put up quite a fight.

But do they calm down a bit after you show them your hakapik?
