Well, it was perfectly straight on both sides, and perfectly square to boot. It was also 16''x24'', like a framing square. He looked at me with wide eyes, and said accusingly, ''YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE !''. Well no, I am ''just lucky'' on a very consistent basis. I honestly think that there is often an angel on my shoulder.

And I am inclined to listen. That doesn't mean I don't use gauges and fixtures from time to time, but I also use ''the force''. And I trust it.

If I had a bow that was accurate, and shot well, I would think that maybe, JUST MAYBE, it was set up EXACTLY the way it was intended to be. Maybe not intentionally, but maybe circumstantially, and Perfectly.

With Grace. The question is sometimes, can we accept that ?

You dirty dog. You cut along the rafter to mess with the new guy. That's funny, plus you are damn good I bet.
