Knowing your place on it is important. The World reminds us, if we listen.
Item the first: Yesterday, a Chinook helicopter flew directly over Camp Borepatch at about 200 feet altitude. The rotor noise literally shook the house.
Item the second: Last night while sitting out on the porch, I listened to the coyotes singing. At 7:45 PM.
Item the second reminds me that I have rifles that would do a dandy job on the coyotes, who have no idea that I could. Item the first reminds me that the boomstick isn't helpful in every situation.
It was an oddly peaceful realization.

I get the 'blonde moment' award of the day.
So In reading your post, I'm thinking... broomsticks are only good for chasing off smaller creatures, like raccoons off the porch. Coyotes might run from them, but a gun would be better....
Then I thought, why in the heck do they call guns broomsticks? I always wondered that when I would go to Tam's site... books, bikes, broomsticks...... ooookay.
Just now, I realized that there is an 'r' missing and I had been putting an r in the word when it really wasn't there........
Wow, I felt so dumb, but at the same time had that 'aha' moment....
Oh the preconceived notions we all at some point have.....
It must be international chopper day. While out in the fields moving my cows I was buzzed by a French helicopter gunship. At least I presume it was a gunship based on the hardware hanging off the sides.
The recoilless would be decent against the first.
Just sayin'...
Boom/broom: For years I thought dad had a radio-alarm saw. Couldn't figure out why the weird name for about 15-16 years. :)
Ano:
Just try using that radio-alarm saw at the same time that someone else in the house is trying to hear the hockey score...
