Stumpy might have picked em all up in preparation for his epic adventure!! Probably figured they'd be useful for swatting skeeters, flys, and assorted other vermin. :o Or he may strap them to his boots to use in transporting the swamps, not unlike snowshoes. ;D ;D ;D But he could've missed a couple or three. Did you check in the weeds?? Some veteran slobs are getting more careful about where they hide them, so they will be there next year. After all, one would hate to suffer the total indignity of having ones firegrate turn up MIA, especially when they are so versatile!! ??? ;D ;D
