Our "Front Porch" ....

Mystery solved and the Bear to blame. After returning Thanksgiving night we took the Dogs for a walk and encountered the Bear. Needless to say the dogs were a handful.
I had produced the light to help scare him off and handed it to my Wife and told her to make it back to the house while the dogs and I stayed between Her retreat and the Bear. In the understandable excitement it made it's way into her coat pocket upon arrival back and I never thought about it until I went to pocket it the next morning.
Served its mission well and is now back where it belongs, next to my XM in pocket.
Took a mid-sleep dream to put the events back in order and as is often the case I awaken havin' solved the days quandry(s).
Thanks for the help Guys. :)
 
Good news, Rubi.

Perhaps a gift idea just revealed itself...the Lady needs a pocketable light of her own.

Funny you should mention that N2K. Life proves sayings to be accurate I guess, I have never tried leading a horse to water and making it do anything But, I have gifted my Wife multiple lights, knives, guns, and bags etc.. Carries nothing on a regular basis or when it is needed.
I think my gifting of useful items days are over - let those who want to discover "needs fulfilled" discover on their own. If asked, I will certainly share what knowlege I may have but that'll be the scenario.
So..... I just hope and pray that my new found dedication to S.O.P. will stave off a repeat of the last day or so becuase it wasn't fun nor familiar as far as feelings go.

I get what you are saying. Often, those around me depend on what's in my possession to meet their need/convenience. I kinda feel like the USA as seen by a lot of the outside world..."you have something I need....now gimme".

We have created a Society and a surrounding World of - Dependency rather than self-reliance.
Now the chickens are flocking home to roost and the trough as well as the watering hole are empty.
The Farmer is dancing in the back field with a tin foil hat and propeller.
I'm making a hat and may join him at some point in the near future.

It's going to take one hell of a leader to get us out of the current sit. and all that follows because of poor decisions and leadership failure...there is a need for a decision-maker like one we have never seen and certainy do not currently have. That is all I have to say...not looking to move or lock this awesome thread.
 
Hope all are having a pleasant and safe evening. Went after some Christmas trees earlier. Tis the season...almost.
 
Agreed and staying as benign as is appropriate, as the old saying goes "Death by 1000 cuts". Unfortunately I am not aware of a quote describing the process in reverse. Society's (even great ones) eventually Die. Possibly imploding due to their sheer inevitable weight.
It's the Front Porch, now it's time for beer or wine or whiskey and a cigar. The rest is just ..... momentum.
