Ha! actually I had one of my guys setting traps in a customer's yard and before he left the site,one of the traps went off and got it. I got some strange looks when I told him to get it out of the dumpster and stranger looks yet when I put it in a bag and stuffed it in the freezer. :lol:

Is it possible to fall in love with a fly? If it is, then I am.
This fly is . . . I have no words for it.

The burgundy thread really is an eye catcher.

Thanks- Ken
Ken, this is a piece of walnut a friend of mine gave me from trees taken down on his property before building his house. It made for a great Clark Block .

An Iron Blue, sitting on a piece of Walnut, which sits atop of Datus Proper's classic tome... Man, do we know how to party, or what?!
