My pleasure, I thank them.

I sent one to son Joe too, an army contractor in Baghdad. He's making buku bucks but didn't want to spring for a phone card, he'd rather call through his company's crap autovon connection and it drove his mother nuts (hiss-static-beep tones). That card is a good find George. So he's buying the first round next time we get together.

I ordered them July 26th, ought to be getting to you soon. (Here's my reply in the thread in Washington chapter.)

I asked why they went parcel post vice the normal First Class mail, since they're just lightweight phone cards, and they replied to save costs to make the calling cards as low-priced as possible.
