Rick: Too far away to have in hand. I'll ask a few more dithering questions while somebody else just buys it. If at the end of dithering, it is still available, I may have to bring it home. Nice thing about dithering, if I don't get it, I don't care all that much. If I cared, it would already be here. There was a time, pre PGCA, when I was quite content with my few (well less than 20) hunting irons tucked safely away between seasons. I have divested of a mere 3 of those but my new total number is starting to seem silly. I have become an accumulator with a couple of nice pieces but mostly very ordinary. This paradox gun poses my own paradox. What to do. What to do.
