My dad was a journeyman tool and die maker machinist and that is where I got
the desire for precise things.

Anyway,  he always had a great technique for buying new micrometers and the
like.  Since what he was buying was even more esoteric than buying Leicas,
he would always tell my mother as a new "toy" came over the threshold, the
amount it cost divided by 2.

I think as years went by she got smart to his scheming, but she was happy as
long as he didn't go out in bars to drink the paycheck away.

Leica M, the quiet alternative....
