I think she is thinking about those cute formed reusable pieces for joining 
framing, on the order of the brackets for quickly making saw horses. The 
reason I was being facetious is because such a fastener doesn't fit my 
homesteader mentality. Unnecessary cost. Reminds me of those, what, stars?, 
that were sold to frame geodesic domes. In fact, wasn't it Jd Belanger who 
sold them? Am I losing it?
