Yep.  The wonderful colors hide most of the dirt, though.  Normally I
hate white t-shirts but chose the white this time because the design
sounded best to me.  It was a good decision.   I love the graphics (even
though I wasted a good bit of time staring into a mirror when I first
put on the shirt, trying to figure out the geography).
 
I started to write a list thank-you as soon as I saw the shirt, but I
hadn't been keeping up with list mail at the time and guessed that there
had probably already been many thank-yous and that people were tired of
reading them -- and that Eric was probably tired of getting an overload
of thank-yous in direct mail.  Just goes to show that I should not have
thrown out my good manners after all.
 
I'm amazed, btw, to be among the earliest recipients of the shirt.  I'm
always the last one to receive my annual Words-L t-shirt (except the year
I was the one having them made).  The snails that bring mail to
Mississippi usually act as if somebody has poured salt on them.
