Profound, Daver! Another high mark for this one. I feel so rushed tonight with hubbie upstairs and not sleeping like he usually is this time of night. Well, it was nice seeing you momentarily here thru your poetry. Luv, Andrea

I never lived anywhere near bells ringing but we do have train whistles that I couldn't live without ... smile ... wonderful write here, Daver and a well-deserved selection to be a feature here at the Soup this week. Congratulations!
