There are some pretty neat old commercial match safes out there too.

Here's one that I just won on ebay. I couldn't pass it up.

A very good friend of mine died of liver and stomach cancer about 18 months ago.

He was an artist in the highest sense of the word. He built custom muzzle loaders that sold for $3000 to $4000 each.

He had the best philosophy and sense of humor about life of anyone I have ever met. When he was diagnosed as terminal, he went out and bought a motorcycle and rode it every day until he was too weak to stand up.

When my time comes, I only hope that I can accept, and deal with it half as well as he did.

One of his favorite sayings was this quote from Rudyard Kipling.
