I can understand how the tree/tool names came about - it's pretty logical I suppose - but the switch to *whiskey* isn't <i>quite</i> explained. Now wouldn't <i>that</i> be a story we'd like to hear - guess we'll never know ;). I'll forbear from making any silly statements regarding the switch from tree/tool names ("solid", "dependable", "functional") to *whiskey* names ("inebriated", "can't-quite-focus-on-the-road"). Oh...I just did :devilboy: .
