All good choices.

Now that I think about it, it's been many years since I read Farmer Giles of Ham.

Good move. I should have done that with Eastfarthing, but didn't react fast enough. I'll cellar my remaining ounce and see how long I can make it last.

Smoke what you have then. But maybe not that Sutliff, it's rare stuff these days.

For the past few months, the knife has been a Civivi Elementum

I work around equipment, power tools, and saws so nothing around my wrist. And much of my day to day writing is done on lumber, therefore it's usually a carpenter's pencil for me.



I'll also add flashlight, Zippo, and firearm, Walther PPS.

Well, there is a bit of a feeling of sadness for taking the life of a beautiful animal. But it is outweighed by a feeling of pride and gratitude.

Pride in my prowess and skill in moving quietly and shooting accurately, in testing myself against a creature that has senses much keener than my own. Pride that I can secure meat for myself and my family. Gratitude that I have the ability and means to hunt, and land on which to do so. And gratitude that the deer was created for the purpose of providing sustenance for man.
