You do have a flair for symmetry! Nice work and another one I KNOW took time. Beautifully done!

Thank you, Edlynn. Would you say this is continuous or discrete symmetry...as you can tell my physics sucks:) You are right; I always take my time when writing...love sitting back rereading, and maybe touching up. ~ Regards // paul
