So funny you say that, I almost mentioned them with the rubber bands,
they reside next to each other in a drawer. I left them out because I
don't actually collect them, once you have a box of the large and small,
you're pretty well set for life, and they don't come with my newspaper
like rubber bands do.

I have one of those clippers holding the 'glass' in my birdfeeder,
keeps the little bast..., uh, squirrels from lifting it up to steal the
seed.
