Actually, you missed it by a week!
I think the old pony express could have gotten the whistle here quicker, but today I’m very happy to be the new owner of this fine instrument!
I suppose all the recent flooding has slowed the postal service down a bit in some areas, but it’s still ridiculous for a 400 mile trip to take six days via priority mail… well, actually five days since Sundays don’t count.
All’s well that ends well, though, and thankfully they didn’t lose it or damage it along the way.
A tip of my hat to Tommy Martin for making it possible for me to finally own an O’Riordan whistle without having to sell a kidney to pay for it, and to Pat himself for his fine craftsmanship.
