Recognized as an independant nation by some, as a piece of Georgia by others, Abkhazia apparently make some of their revenue by selling interesting postage stamps

One probably inspired the other.

As Tom Rush (remember him?) once said, "if you remember the 60's you probably weren't there. . ."

I trust that no one is offended by my oftentimes bizarre and inappropriate sense of humor. . . I mean no disrespect.

"Powerful gasoline, a clean windshield, and a shoe shine. . ."

"If you lived here, you'd be home by now. . ."

Too many others to remember, but who can't forget, I mean, who remembers "Nick Danger, Third Eye!"

Where did the time go?

It's most likely a fantasy piece printed by a private company without any authorization from Abkhasia post. Such imaginary issues are common. For your viewing pleasure, a fantasy souvenir sheet claiming to be issued by CAR is attached.

I hope there isn't a Harpo/McCartney schism!

If only I had the motivation to get the camera out.... I have collected a "few" records in the past.... Kisses on the what?
