A Dispute Arises over Ray's Mail

Gimme that.

No.

Give it me, Ray.

No.

Ray. That gizmo is Cow Barn property. It aint yer property.

Oooooh. You just want the gizmo. You can have the dern gizmo. I just want the package, and them stamps. Here, take the gizmo if that will suit ye Crumby.

All righty then. Ha! For two long I have been constipated with terrible guilt about everything. But now I am down to my last confession, and with this equipment now within my grasp, I shall be guilt free, forever more. Ha! Ha!

Now let me see how this gizmo functions. Lan-ne, la-nee. There we go. Now we just pop this puppy into the telscopery and take just one picture and we, that is me, Crumby am free of previous sin, forever more, and ready fer more. No, no, no more sin, maybe.

The sin ye see illustrated next door occurred during one of my many former weak moments. What ye are witnessing is the topmost parts of Thuja, known to the vulgar as arbor vitae, that I Crumby planted at the Cow Barn with mine own hand, knowing full well its Oriental origins. Why would I do such a dastardly deed, even in a weak moment?

Easy that, once long ago I was visitin' some of the Druidry in these parts and they had one of these arbor vitaes at their place and I espied a red crossbill in that very arbor vitae. So being covetous of another sighting of that particular bird, which is of very unusual occurrence in these parts, I planted an arbor vitae of my very own with mine own hand, this un in fact, hoping to attract more red crossbills. Wickedness, wickedness, wickedness.

But almost as important as being sin free, with this gizmo, I am now equipped to take pictures with any and all representatives of the RGVECB ep collection except for the UO orthos which I don' want to mar the appearance thereof because of their great beauty and resale value.

What name shall I give to this gizmo, for it should be named for its association with an event of such portent? Easy that, The Clamp of No Regrets.
