    I'm still in the dark. 6 or 8 possible senders left. (@byrdpickem I dont know what clues relate to actual target; first set, we've met; sent beer to each other; and we're great drivers) (I'll stay quiet on the other potential trickster).

    Secretly waiting for another clue from a certain co-Patricia hater.
    Eyeing these Florida senders - but with SPT - I think I can rule out @HeartofMiami and @Scottsbeer clue, the International Auto Show is just a touch outside 20 miles away.

    Hmm one of those Latin phrases that those fancy lawyers speak. Since I’ve already had the pleasure of a BIF box from you and since Latin is too sophisticated for me, I’ll defer this one to the much smarter attorneys in the group

    My favorite clue is always the shipping notification clue. One can only hope Clue #2 was one of those misleading clues. Been a while since a box from the good doctor. Greatly looking forward to it @HeartofMiami

    Hmm. I remember you saying you were married in Ohio. I know @Eziel already figured out his sender and I think @Elkevjoe and @Elneenee have a handshake tick. So, at the risk of pulling a @Joenap419, I’m going to have to call you out @Burrass
