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.

My son is currently 10.

We're building in the fourth turning so they can prosper in the coming first turning.
