Glad the letter writer was looking for a mace. Can you imagine the whacking a burglar would have received as they slithered through the dog door? I may have to add one to my toys. I have a couple Monadnock batons by doors but no mace (yet).

Off topic: The name Monadnock caught my eye. I used to live near Mt. Monadnock in southern NH. A little google-fu and sure enough, the company was founded in Fitzwilliam, NH just around the corner from my old stomping grounds. Wikipedia says the name is believed to come from Abenaki and mean either "smooth mountain" or "isolated mountain". I always heard it as "one who stands alone". The mountain (3,200 ft) is a great afternoon hike - on a clear day, you can see 5 New England states. Now I know that its also tied to batons...

A little farther off topic, I believe you're referring to Pack Monadnock, which I have hiked a couple of times. My family, with the exception of three children, was wiped out by the Abnaqi not far from there in Groton MA, July 27, 1694.

?What's this D6 or D8 stuff?
