Gint-a-Cuffs VII Packs 5-8

You know that poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost?  I think opening a box for Gint-a-Cuffs is just like that.  Two paths can be chosen, a good pack or a bad pack.  If you choose the bad pack, the only thing to blame is yourself as superstitious circumstances are dictated by the way you choose. The pack itself is not of its own mind and can only have contents that are finalized upon the opening.  Of course, if you think about it, it's really all about being in a yellow wood in the first place.  Then, there would be no packs at all.  The poem may not reference this at all, I think I had too much coffee. It's time to stop dawdling and choose a path....
