It's been nearly five years since I've owned a pipe that I could officially call my own. Over the years I've had people let me borrow pipes, but mostly my ex was purchasing the pipes while we lived together.

The pipe that I have been using up to this point in time came into my possession in a peculiar way. I was out at Oregon Country Fair this year vending in Darling Reunion campground. I went out to enjoy the night and came back the next morning, and as I approached the table one of the other vendors hands me a pipe and says, "here's your pipe." I looked at her and told her that it was not my pipe, but that I would hold onto it until the rightful owner was found. Alas, the owner still has not been found, and it is still not my pipe.

HOWEVER (comma)

I went to my mailbox today and found a package tucked away nice and neat. I opened it and found the prize from @cryptocameo's giveaway contest waiting inside.

I feel beyond elated, beyond eccstatic, and am overwhelmed with joy to have this new pipe in my possession, a pipe I can finally call my own. Thank you infinitely from the depths of my being, @cryptocameo. I think your contests and giveaways are a beautiful addition to our community.

Enjoy this awesome episode of Toking with a Mage!
