 many redwood burl bowls, many, many small cases of 

 apricots or asparagus, and each person in Washington

 and they couldn't get cigarettes, I was able always 

 to get a carton of cigarettes from my grocer once a

 to Washington the cigarettes went with me. I was 

 able also to get a little liquor and the liquor went 

 with me; I didn't drink and so the liquor went with
