Hi Patrick, There's a trend I've noticed through the years. When I was younger, my reflexes were faster than my brain cell (though I never was formidable like Paul), and I tended to accumulate a lot of small nicks, scratches, and dents at regular intervals. As I have aged and accumulated experience in healing, I've learned to curb my reflexes until my brain cell lumbers into range and considers the possible consequences of the action. The result is that I hurt myself a lot less often, but when I do, it tends to be in some obscure manner and more severe on average. Whether that's a net gain or not, I can't say. There is one rule that never seems to change though. The primary use of music wire is in blood sacrifice. The stuff is carnivorous, likes human body parts, and is very resourceful. It can't be outwitted indefinitely however careful we are. Ron N
