Hey, there's an L. Brown in Wisconsin that writes a lot like you do!

I read a great Capstick story about testing an air rifle--some varmint, maybe a rat, that he'd baited with a chunk of hamburger, made it sound like he was sitting for a leopard. Great books, no matter how far up they peg (or don't) the truth meter.
