Or at least for me. So far. OK, it's actually the first collectible type mug I've ever bought, but it's a piece of my childhood. It's from the Trade Winds in Oxnard, CA, a place that fascinated me as a youngster. All that's left of that place are a few palm trees, at which I stare wistfully when I drive by.

This was way more $ than my comfort level, but it was worth it. It has three faces on the barrel. A piece of tiki and Ventura County history.

The recently knocked the last remaining bits of Wagon Wheel down, and took out the TW palms. Nothing left now but ghosts and memories
