Can't think of where else to put this, so...

My maternal grandfather would occasionally mention having a “haint.” Being a devout Southern Baptist, he never openly acted superstitious, but a “haint” seemed to be something outside the house, rather than indoors
Can be anywhere is my understanding, but mine was outside. A sobering experience.
 
I am not superstitious in the least. I love black cats, well, all color of cats if you want to be specific. Don't throw salt over my shoulder or believe any of that other mumbo-jumbo crap. Walking under a ladder doesn't bother me unless someone is on it. No telling what they may drop on your head. On the other hand those blankety- blank gremlins that run off with all my dropped parts are damned annoying.

I've told the story before, the barrel bushing for the 1910 Browning is still lurking somewhere in my shop. I can't blame anything but a bad bounce...but I'd like to blame it on a snark or a boojum.
