And so it ends. As quickly as it takes to bust a box of cards, this one proved to be the Hundred Years War of Wax. When this box break began, gas cost $3.25 per gallon, Mike Huckabee was still a presidential hopeful, and I was jobless, still living with my parents. Now gas costs $4.00 per gallon, Mike Huckabee is just a simple Governor, and I live on my own, my time consumed by a 40-hour work week. What a difference 5 months makes.
Congratulations for having the perseverence to post every card from this jumbo box, it was fun to read!
