Lost & Found: Tactical Folding Knife

Found on the Scenic property recently;  a very nice CRKT Folding Tactical Knife.  There is one thing about the functionality of this fine blade that is unusual and, if you can tell me what it is and the date you think you lost it, then it is yours.  I know how attached we can get to a good blade that does so much in the wilderness.

Coco Goes to Heaven

I lost my beloved puppy, Coco this last Tuesday and it has hit me particularly hard.  In memory . . . and to ease my grief I'd like to share this photo album of Coco's memories and of his last moments in the clinic.  There is meditative music with the full album here.  Or you can view the album less the music here.
