Looking for arrowheads and participating in archaeological digs--both in Mexico, Germany, and Italy. And hunting for fossils in Texas and Mexico and in Europe while I was an Officer in the Army. My main hobby is bottle collecting. I love to dig for them, either in old dumps, cisterns, or privies. Ah! The fun when you find a complete bottle after hundreds of years in the ground!!!

Books on Archaeology, History, Anthropology, nonfiction. Especially about the Civil War. Also Gone with the Wind and the Duchess.

Bluegrass, classical music, and opera. Lester Flatt and Earl Sruggs Bluegrass Band. The New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra and the Met (Opera). Plus the late Pavarotti the great Tenor (what a great loss to the music world).Texas music from the 30's to the 50's. also mariachi music from Mexico especially the ones from the 50's.

I am a Historical fanatic, and I hate when the local, state, or federal governments destroy historical sites just to make way for a parking space or just building which is not needed at all. When if they just took the time and effort the building could have been moved to a different site, so that other people could have enjoyed the historical building for many years to come--but as always--politics.

I took added coursed in history in order to support my archaeology minor in college. Something which I know greatly enhanced my degree. Further, my parents always emphasized history to us as we were growing up and that is something that I greatly appreciated my parents for. Because I love history very much and now I emphasize it to my adult children and my grand children as well. And now they too love going to historical places as well.

Bank transfer, Debit card, and credit card.

Usually Priority Method when possible, if not regular mail and always insured.

Gladly applied if item is broken or if customer is not satisfied. Service with a smile. The customer is always right.

Via e-mail or telephone.

I always try to be fair and honest. And I will always give the seller or the buyer for the matter the benefit of the doubt. But I never try to give negative feedback--I always give positive feedback and would appreciate the same in return. Some seller's do not return the favor of doing the same--of giving the buyer a good feedback, as the buyer has done.

I try sending and e-mail first, then a 2nd one follows, then a phone call will follow when my item has not been received in time. However, I take into consideration, maybe a storm, tornado, or flooding, etc. But, if in 2 or 3 weeks I have not received my bought item past the due date, then I will follow the proper channels of trying to get my item by filing a complaint through eBay. But I will give the seller the benefit of the doubt before taking action.
