This is the kind of stuff I see on Facebook. :)
@SuperDave (always wanted to tag myself, maybe it'll cause a singularity :) ) doesn't even know which way Colonials roll when you drop one. :P
No, just make sure the Morgan I'm holding isn't right-side-up. That would suit. :P
How'd you know? :) Seriously, after my time in the Army this is one habit which has never left me, even 35 years later. I pack stuff tight into...
Hey, they take up a ton less space in the drawer if you do.
This is another valid potential explanation. I should think a deliberate removal would exhibit a smoother overall appearance - the normal practice...

That's an "interest level" assigned by Leroy Van Allen at the time he designates the VAM. It's only an estimate, of course, and the fullness of...
