Nick, If memory serves me, we used Tomahawk Traps and they required both hands to set or open.
Nowadays I rescue spiders from my bathtub and transplant milkweed to feed Monarchs. Maybe as people change so should organizations which seem saturated with hormones. Hormones , booze, heavy machinery and loud music make for a difficult time when thinking about consequences. Men only learn to think long after it was needed. vib From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of Nick Thompson Sent: March-22-17 10:16 PM To: 'The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group' Subject: Re: [FRIAM] organizations When setting a have-a-heart trap, it is always wise to attach a LONG cord to the release mechanism, just in case you catch something you don’t want to. n Nicholas S.

They get really mean if you get in their way. So clearly a little tactful negotiation is preferable , as I recall my advisor at that time flipped a coin to determine who would have to approach the cage trap and release him. I lost. vib He is probably still laughing… From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of Marcus Daniels Sent: March-21-17 10:46 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: Re: [FRIAM] organizations “At some point I saw a skunk about 50 feet in front of me. If I had had a rifle I'd have made a hasty retreat. But instead I aimed carefully and dispatched the skunk. The last days of the wild west.” I once had a hot tub which I used mostly to lower my blood pressure after day (after day) of frustration at work. There may have been some drinking involved too. A common visitor late at night was a neighborhood skunk who’d poke its nose over the side. Alarming at first but I came to look forward from visits from that little guy. Not sure how it works in to Vladimyr’s metaphor. Marcus
