I can tell, Seeker. Because James Bond is nowhere near as poetic as you are!! Truth will out!

'a stalking hawking' - now there's a turn of phrase I like! Thanks, Bill!

Hmmm...I wonder what happened to the cat? The hawk? There are so many feral cats in my neighborhood. I try to be friendly, but they will have no part of me.
