Went by the Buck factory this afternoon to pick up a celebratory knife or two (new job after January's layoffs), and found the 372 Muskrat on the "endangered" list.

Well, actually, on the "scheduled for extinction" list.

Naturally, this follows hot on the heels of my wistful hoping that Buck would bring the Muskrat back home and revive the 313.

So, in the forlorn hope of preserving the species, I picked out a prime specimen and brought it home, with the objective of establishing a breeding pair of Muskrats.

Hopefully the genetic divergence between the Greater North American Black-Clad Buck Muskrat and the derivative Lesser Asian Wood-Sided Buck Muskrat is not so great that the union results in a sterile mule.

One can only pray.

 
I envy your being able to stop by the Buck Factory. That was the highlight of our 2010 vacation to the Great Northwest. Only trouble is, I could only afford a short stay in the Factory Store. I left with some beautiful knives. A short visit with Chuck was thoroughly enjoyed. I would be a light lighter in the wallet if I lived anywhere close.

Looking forward to my next trip that way and praying for $2.00 gas again.
