El gato escaldado del agua fr�a huje (pls s'cuse my gringo accent!).

The Mexican has it right � and maybe I'm just another scalded cat who's fleeing cold water.

Several years ago, on another board for shooters, somebody asked me "Are you the Ken Howell?" I answered that that'd depend on which the Ken Howell he meant � that there were then more than 350 Ken Howells in the US that I knew of � that I wasn't the Ken Howell who used to pitch for Oakland � that I wasn't the Ken Howell who's a crackin'-good pistolsmith in Wisconsin � that I'm the Ken Howell who used to edit Handloader and Rifle and wrote the Custom Cartridges book.

Right away, some borborygmic fundament belched back that I was bragging.

So I shrink from posting any treatise on my background, even in outline or resum� form.


"Good enough" isn't.

Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.
