: Maybe Brad is just empty-handedly kicking off the "Community
: Leatherman" project. You know, it that idea that since no one uses
: their own Leatherman to it's full potential that we can share a Leatherman
: between, say 50 or so of us. Just leave your Leatherman where you last
: used it, say at a lunch stop or better yet at the put-in / take-out, and
: the next person that needs one can just reach down, pick it up as use it.
: Afterwards they just return it to a conspicuous location where it will
: patiently wait for the next user. This program does work! Think of all the
: natural resources we will save in the process.
I
: Hey, if Amsterdam can do it with bicycles we should be able to do it with
: Leathermans. I think you can even write-off the cost of the Leatherman if
: you submit it as a donation to the "World Leatherman Project": I used to attach a 6" tail of red line to mine so I would not lose it.
: But based in no small part of Brad's example I will remove the red line so
: I won't be tempted to keep the Leatherman to myself any longer.I guess I let my capitalist instinct get the better of me. And at the expense of some hapless critter at that! What was I thinking? The poor crows, learning to trust their stainless mother (not equivalent to immaculate), only to have her torn from them again and again. God, forgive me! Soon a population of schizophrenic birds would plague the wilds. Unable to care for themselves and no support system available. I think I'll run right out and buy 10 Leathermans and throw them to the winds to atone. Thanks for setting me straight!
