Barrett, in the Hunter novel, one of the "bad guys" is the sporting clays shooter (but he's from Arkansas, too).
I have mixed feelings regarding the "feature" about which you vented. The fact that the "linked attachments" do NOT count against the 20-photo/post limit is something that immensely benefits me with my multi-quote posts.And it keeps the post length shorter for those who aren't interested in many of the quoted photos and are irritated to have to scroll past them. I agree that when composing lengthy posts, not having anything other than the attachment link in the editor can be rather frustrating. I usually click on "More Options" immediately after inserting quotes, and then click "Preview". That leaves me with a preview of how my post will look after posting, as well as a standard editing window to compose the post at the bottom. I often have to scroll up to the preview to click on an attachment to remind me of the photo on which I planned to comment. That's a bit annoying, but not TOO bad IMHO.
The new Bird and Trout thread reminded me how much I like this little Krein B&T, in CPM-D2. It helped me cut some potatoes, ham and cherry tomatoes for breakfast this morning. I'll put it on my belt for the day.

I love this configuration and covers. The Phillips looks like a machine gun on the side of the fuselage.

Fair pair, Jack!!(Dr. Unity, I presume?
) Thanks for judging my knives "interesting"!
I spent a little time investigating, and there are at least two sizes of Squirrel: the river site says 3 1/8" and 4 3/8". The Squirrel model I have is definitely over 4 inches closed. (On the other hand, I have the small version of the "standard" Douk Douk, 3 3/8 instead of 4 3/8).
