Story in a name

[5crows]

On some forums my name is fishcreekspinners (company name - kind of boring). On other, more recent forums like HSO, I'm 5crows.

The story on this one was a pact with high nature. If I saw 5 crows flying together (no more, no less) it was the sign telling me I should retire from a 40yr+ IT career (before they canned me and sent my job to India) and go full tilt making and selling spinners, to have fun and maybe make a US job or two.

Needless to say, I paid a lot of attention to the sky, scanning crows and ravens for a few years. Finally, I saw 5 ravens chasing each other, manuevering thru big pines at Yosemite National Park in California. Not four, not six, five crows.

Retired 12/31/10, almost a year 1/2 ago. In hindsight, I wish I would have made that pact with 1crow.

Lets here your stories!

My screen name has 2 different meanings, and they both fit me well. Mine started off as wanderingeyes, but I forgot my password, so I just made it 4wanderingeyes. Which fits as well.

I used to travel all over for walleyes, and my wife has informed me many times that I have wanderingeyes. And the "4" well, I do wear glasses. Now, I hardly fish for walleyes, but I still have wandering eyes

For me I had a bunch of friends over and we were shooting bow in the yard. I started walking back farther and farther, once we hit the 50 yard mark everyone else hung up there bows and I kept moveing back at 65 yards my brother in-law said the military sould sign me up as a archery sniper, I didnt miss till I hit 70 yards that took 2 arrows to hit the bullseye.
