I could picture you in the marketplace and see it all through your eyes. Dyslexia is not a hinderance to your writing skill, Billie. It may be a friend. ;-)

Thanks Lin. As someone who has dyslexia, I always aim to make it autistic yet easy to read. This is inspired by my homeland us have the last few hiku's.
