I really must buy some squirrel, even if it is only to squick

Ah, a Heinleiner! I meet about 70% of his criteria, and can add
quite a few others, like "make a net" and even "make a netting
needle".

I've always been ambivalent about Heinlein, due to the
reputation that his earlier work had for being right-wing.
OTOH, I recently re-speed-read "Stranger in a Strange Land",
and was surprised at how much it had influenced my attitudes.
It'll be sad when people don't remember what "grok "means".
