I didn't know you were an owl collector, too, Spider. I have quite a

Are the elephants facing the right way?

Oh don't give me something else to worry about! A friend from (old)
Rhodesia told me they should all have upturned trunks for good luck.

That is supposedly so they can offer flowers up to Buddha using their
trunks,presumably a tradition that applies more to Asian Elephants.

The right way I was alluding to is that an elephant should always face
out of the door for the house to have good luck.
others say they should always look right.
