    They were fun to throw at each other, when I was a kid. Less fun to get hit with one. :) Another name for it is Osage Orange, and the wood is one of the top three best woods to make a bow,...

    I've "bought" free books that I thought were overpriced. A risk we take. :)

    I did know that. Very sad, and not fair. Should have been on a trail, gone to bed and woke up dead. But as you pointed out, life isn't.
