[Milsurplus] We Are Moving!!!!

[J. Forster]

That was what CA was interested in. I had over 10 Halliburton cases of
electronics. They were only interested in the carry-on agricultural stuff.

Maybe they had a point. Some years earlier, a friend and I were at White
Sands. He wanted to bring a Yucca flower back to his wife, so cut one and
put it in his luggage on the way to the airport.

When he got home and opened his bag, about a zillion critters were all
over the place. Everything in the bag had to be washed or thrown in the
trash.
