Hi Andrew....Happy New Year and welcome back! Was smiling about your comment...and made my mind go to your comment re wolves and guns....then I drifted to where to put the gun when you are finished with it...gun case, lock...and of course you need ammo...so another case. Pretty soon you have another room full of furniture, and stuff to put into the room. Since I only like nice "stuff", one can't collect it all in one day, or it would be just stuff, not "nice stuff"....which in my case, probably includes "old nice stuff," sometimes called "antique nice old stuff"...and in some cases it's called "new arty or handcrafted stuff"... Have certainly thought along the same lines as unclewest and kholt, and haqi have indicated, but have decided to rid myself/ourself of stuff that doesn't count....and to keep the house with the 'nice old stuff' as it is cheaper than hiring a storage place when we leave and do the "Travels with Charley" trips.... I loved that book by Steinbeck....even though I didn't like many of his. One thing that is for sure however....there will be no U-Haul behind the hearse...so I'm enjoying the "old stuff" now....<ggg>

Andrew, You just stay quiet, and don't bother the wolves. They will not attack a human being unless they feel threatened by that person. There have been no documented instances of any attacks by healthy wolves, unless the person threatened the wolf, or another member of the pack. The fear of wolves comes from ancient legends that have no truth associated with them. As is true of almost every animal in nature, they prefer to avoid the humans, and will attack only when they feel they must to protect themselves. A maimed, or rabid, wolf, just like any other animal, including the family dog, does not fit into the category of "healthy". I feel the same way about a lot of humans, myself.
