You have indeed caused a narrowing of the path of sorts. But, I thought you had guesses on the actual identities of the recipients.
Hose jockey, yes
The box is indeed nutty but not quite that way
Yup, a couple
So, take your shot, mikey. If you don't get them, then someone else can take a try. If someone gets all four correct before the first one lands, which should be by tomorrow, that person will get to pick a target for a small box of love. I am the final arbiter in this contest. You know, my contest, my rules. This is for fun, so no hurt feelings allowed. Except maybe for mikey. He bruises easily.
Anyway, I am out and about today, so I'm not sure how well I will be to check this until this evening. I will try.
One quick hint here, Grumpie and I have actually met
all the 4 surprise recipients in person.
One guess list per person, at least until I have had a chance to check back in. I may give extra guesses later. My rules.
More clues
As I wandered upon the shore of the sea, waves washing over my feet, I chanced upon a cluster of creatures. A fish! Boy, what a fish! Wait, two fish! But wait, what kind is that one? A red herring? A gull landed and quickly gulped them both down.
And there was the strangest thing, a shell moving upon the beach. I picked it up. To my surprise, it was a crab. Such a clever crustacean to take its house along wherever it goes. "Where from?" I ask. "Texas!" came the reply. "Keep in touch" say I. "I'm a texter, not a tweeter!" said he.
Then as I come to the end of my journey, a lovely pair of tigers sauntered past. Alas, one of them was limping. I offered to render assistance. "none needed, thank you" was the reply. I watched them with my beady eyes as they continued their patrol, saying a few words of comfort into the wind.
