And this morning I hear my Westminster-chiming mantle clock without my hearing aids better than I did yesterday with my jacked-up hearing aids in place.
I'm going to find Pat Benatar's Crazy and see how that sounds.

Many of you may remember that I was on the business end of double-barreled generosity back on Labor Day. That's the day BobRufus1949 announced the winner of his latest extremely generous estimation game, and the winning estimate was provided by @Tyson A Wright, who very generously decided that he was entering on my behalf. A big thank you to both of those gentlemen for their magnanimity!
Today I picked up the package that Bob mailed containing the superb Cosimo De Benedetto white bone shadow lambsfoot.
I took a few photos after supper tonight, and thought I'd show it off before I head to bed. I think I took enough photos that I can inflict them on the Guardians for the rest of the week!
The knife has an interesting shield (I'd call it a "bomb shield" but that may be wrong) and an oversized pivot. The smooth white bone, especially on the pile side, has a fascinating mottled appearance, kind of two-tone bone.

The lambsfoot blade is about 2.9" long and has the somewhat unusual (at least among the lambs I have) "rounded nose". The blade also has an outstanding stovepipe kick! The handle is about 3.9".
