Welcome fellow hunter of Stuff!
I see hawks here, but not the owls. I've had hawks fly in front of my car before, far enough ahead of me to be long gone before the car got to...

Almost certainly. Gemstones move around more than Covid germs.
That's the way things are going, unfortunately. One more reason I'm down to three active listings on eboo. Another? just tried using the new...
Parchment maybe?
Took a look, and Birks puts their b in a hexagon, and the lion is rampant when used. At least that's what I saw; Canadians may know better.
Separate names with a comma.
