JOE - as a scout you should know.

LEFT over RIGHT and then RIGHT over LEFT

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Do NOT get too cerebral - like "the one on the left is now on the right so it must really still be the right"

I just learned this past Christmas. (Now if you want to learn how to correctly tie a "smoke jumper's boot" that I have known 3/4 my life.)
