Re: New Frank B swing Guard??
I think the horn on that one is really nice, but I don't care for the tactical look of the blade. Just call me a traditionalist when it comes to Italian swing guards.

Re: Cool little OTF
Like button_man, I never had a FB account. I do understand that there are apparently some meaningful switchblade discussions that go on there, but I guess I have to read about them second-hand.

Re: 17cm Kris Rosco
Thom - that one looks superb. Sorry, can't help with the date, other than the obvious. My guess is that the bolsters looking like brass is just due to the lighting - correct?

Girl Scout Thin Mints - hard narcotics disguised as cookies
My grand niece is a Girl Scout in Maryland. She takes her cookie sales seriously and my wife orders a bunch and has them shipped. Included in the package are Thin Mints. I try to eat ONE Thin Mint and it doesn't come even close to ending up that way. Anyone else have this problem?

Re: Covid shot
My recommendation is to be proactive and aggressive about getting your appointment. Here is my example. My wife watches the newsfeeds and noticed one Tuesday that the county dept of health was opening some appointments and would begin scheduling them at 5:00PM that day. The State had moved to the ne...
