Re: Inquiry on Joe Farmer

Thanks Dick for the observations about Joe.
I remember the sometimes heated threads on Jouster. You have a good take on him.

Anyone know the status of Joe Farmer?
There is a thread on useful Krag books on CMP now, and his book and name came up.

Re: What gives you the willies?

Had a scorpion in the mailbox get me in Fla. years ago. Instant pain and swelling, but not deadly. careful Fred, multiple stings can 'sensitize' you into a full blown anaphylactic reaction.
