Yes. The advantage of the ice ball is it melts and thus the evidence  
goes away. I think most of my crossbow quarrels have my name on them.  
Still I find a certain poetic justice in the plane landing and the  
questions about how come he has an arrow stuck in his wing when the  
minimum altitude he has permission to fly at is 500 ft. (Or whatever,  
I've forgotten the exact number).

But then I thought I read something about the Classic Swimming Hole  
going away last Pennsic. :-(
