Yup I had a rather interesting divorce.Amoung other things had a custody battle over my dead dog, [which I dug up and have in a coffin now in my Bedroom] and my wife reported Jazz and Me to the FBI as being the DC snipers ....Todd

>That would make a great chisel, built in handle and all. I had no idea that the rodents had ever been bear sized.

Bear sized rodents

>Hi Pam,

The Capibara (sp) or Carpincho (Guarani name) found in Paraguay and other parts on the upper Amazon basin grow to the size of a small bear/ large dog.

wishing he had been more woodworking aware when he was in the Peace Corps.

That could get real serious real fast. Did you tell them about your tree trimming?

Was your dog already dead when you fought over custody? Why?

>The agouti is only about the size of a capuchin monkey, but lives in Panama. I didn't realize the capibara was a rodent, should have.

What would have been good about woodworking in the peace corps?

>The state police special task force and the FBI came to my house twice.Wanted to come in but I wouldn't allow it , one cop got a little pushy.

I loved my dog and had made a shrine like tomb for her and didn't want to leave her behind so I dug her up after the police told me to take what was mine. Actually got took to court but the judge , [who had a calendar on her desk with Great danes on it] tossed it out after I told her I loved my dog which was a "big dog sort of like a great dane" ......Todd

Fossil digging

Todd O. Cronkhite Maine Native in FL. Exile :~(

>Got a fossil trip scheduled for the weekend of Feb 26th at Ruck's Pit.(Google Ruck's Pit for more info) I can hardly stand the wait,plus I get to hook up with our own Mike Fitterling and Family who has once again graciously agreed to host my fellow Mainer and fossil fiend Elwynn and I. :~)

There is a trip to Peace River going on as well. Now that is the place to find giany shark teeth, giant beaver teeth etc, etc, etc.

I messed up and joined a rock/gem group thinking we'd also go on fossil trips, but that's not the case. I do need to find a dedicated Fossil club.

William Duffield, on the Cohansey

>Me too, ROTFLMAO!!!

We've got lots of muskrats and woodchucks around here, but had no idea that the sharp-toothed proprietor of Ralph's Anteeq Maul was related to them.

We must have beavers too. Down the road, on the way to Bivalve, another sign in the town of Beaver Dam lets you know that you can rent a boat to go catch crabs.

I took this photo a couple of winters ago, out back of the studio where we do the restorations, reproductions and reconstructions, from about the same vantage point as my recently posted photo of other critters with a proclivity for gnawing on trees. If you're curious, under the rodent graffittiiii, the sign says, "Shop Open Please Come In"

Ralph, in the hightest tradition of dealers in antiques, says, "If no one's home, just push the money under the door."
