Very nice kit Obie, especially the Puma - and the book seems a fitting companion.  To the extent that Amazon is a compass, the author seems to have a modest but appreciative audience, and there is some interesting information about him in Wikipedia and OnMilwaukee.  Like the Puma, the author speaks to people whose appreciation of beauty transcends efficiency and balance sheets.  As someone who thinks a walk through a rose garden is better than a drive-by sniff, I'm glad we have such voices with us.
