"Just because we have the best hammer does not mean every problem is a NAIL."

A good friend, and native Texan, gave me the Nailer nickname. We both enjoy shooting and I hit what I shoot at, just like Point of Impact's Bob the Nailer.

A rational anarchist is one who lives life knowing there may be a LEO around the next corner. Became one after reading Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress back in the day.

I've a few of that old curmudgeon's books around here. Some of his work is pretty entertaining.
