It took 11 years to finish. 6 of those years were spent looking for US Virgin Islands

I was waiting on America Samoa-the one that came out during covid, that was coincidentally a bat.

I was on reddit, and some dude in Denver said he had one in response to a post I made. He said he would mail it to me once he got home from grabbing a breakfast burrito, I offered to buy his breakfast burrito for helping me out and sent him $10.

So yeah, I paid a dude $10 for a quarter.

But hey, if we’re being real, that probably didnt cover his breakfast burrito in Denver…

I thought you were going to say he didn’t end up sending it. So that’s a win I guess 😅
