C'pete,
There's an island out there in the Pacific named MILLIWAYS where it's always Saturday afternoon and there's always a nice cool breeze.*
Next to a barefoot beach bar called Ursa Minor Beta there's an annex which actually is a well stocked marine store with perpetual 60's prices on everything.
Marvin's there of course, as always, but you'll probably find some of your best friends and old acquaintances getting some gear or having a beer. Brion Toss,

he might be around too having some turnbuckles tightened - or flaking a schooner's chain bucket. Anyway, since he's here, take a look at his ultimate multi-pocket traveling vest**, which you should fill up while you are on the island.
Where ever you voyage in this universe, you'll have the right tool to get you out of trouble.
And one of them, as C'pete reminds us, is Tefgel - keep it in the same pocket as your pink pearl.
Happy solstice you old f... salts!
