  1. Thank you Long Tom. Yes, she is a very fine little bauble. Expensive, but very fine.

    Yes, We could form the LOGOFWETWGB. I decided that I wanted to have the biggest high cock in port. I hope others don’t think that I am compensating for anything.

  2. Does anyone know when dispensing valves were developed?

    I am looking at a very nice powder horn. It is beautifully scrimshawed; however, it has a dispensing valve on it. I might be incorrect, but that does not strike me as being GAoP. Any ideas?

  3. I was thinking that society felt that piracy was a type of "plague." In a "former life" I spent 13 years in the biomedical industry. I started as a virologist, moved to technical services then into regulatory affairs. As a former bio-geek I knew that the causative agent for the bubonic plague is the bacteria Yersinia pestis, which is listed by CDC as a select agent, because it can be weaponized, even though it is recommended to be handled in a biosaftey level 2 facility (biosafety 3 if a potential to create an aerosol exists) and treated with antibiotics.

    Hence, the name Yersinia Pestis, Plague of the Seven Seas.

  4. HarborMaster,

    Very cool. I have wanted to learn how to dive, but I do not like the idea in diving in a dark, murky, flooded quarry to be certified. My boss is a marine biologist. He told me that at one time he was diving under the artic ice and during the same week he was diving in the Gulf of Mexico. What a contrast.

    Thanks for encouraging exposure to the wildlife. It is important if people are going to continue to save wildlife and just as important their habitats.

    Please be sure to reach out to children. There is a concern that children suffer from nature deficiency. If you have a chance read “Last Child in the Woods.” There is also a concern that environmentalist are “Old, white males.” So there is a push now to include minorities.

  5. I have a law degree and I am a biologist at the federal level for an agency that works with others, to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
