First drop, that’s true. Second drop the cap was posted because she was crossing things off the list and navigating the store.
I am familiar with rule #2 as applied to knives. I will amend it to include mechanical pencils. Rule #1 for knives is to always have a knife, but it’s best to avoid dropping them too.
I also violated a more basic law, and I’m unsure to whom to give the credit. Two is one and one is none! I’ve remedied that situation too

I collect nothing! Nothing I say! Ok I accumulate all sorts of stuff. But I sold enough knives to cover about 3/4 the price of a new Northstar canoe… at this point I only have <20 Spyderco and 3 Benchmade. A bunch of Moras scattered around the house and vehicles. Am selling a couple Spyderco right now to buy a pair of nice Japanese kitchen knives. The one I use the most after all!
