I met a guy at the Ohio show today that just lost one of his fingers from a cobra bite. Yikes! His hand was still wrapped up. He had a pretty upbeat attitude about the whole thing, but...Damn! I don't keep hots myself, but I thought it was an interesting (obviously VERY unfortunate) aspect of this corner of the hobby. I know that we can become careless about lots of things (driving comes to mind) and wanted to remind anyone who could use it that the consequences are out there when caution is not used. I KNOW... most of you are using extreme caution...but ...Be careful out there. Duffy

Yeah... especially since I bought most of my hooks from those guys! I wasn't actually at this show but I heard about it.

"The serpent crams itself with animal life that is often warm and vibrant, to prolong an existence in which we detect no joy and no emotion. It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."
