Close up, the lines appeared as a road map for those seeking a route to their destination. Igneous paths cut into the Earth's surface, worn by centuries of wind, rain and asphalt. Or meandering streams that are tributaries to rivers searching for a means of escape from levied boundaries into an open sea. Observations of an analytical imagination. Beneath the powerful lens of a microscope, magnification indicated no vehicles traversing, nor currents flowing within estuary banks. Only striations archeologists find fascinating.

LOL Tom and it's supposed to be the season of miracles, but I don't think she has any good will towards me. Nothing ventured... Thanks for the heads up, too.

aww thanks, Gina, but there's little hope of that. She's had me blocked for years, but I thought I'd enter it anyway.
