Jumping to Conclusions

Haughty Tiger was blatantly vain
She presumed that poor Ass had no brain
Ass stayed cool when hunters came
And pretended to be lame
But Miss Knowall was bound to a chain.

Thank you on all counts, Jan. We've had some hiccups regarding plumbing and electricity, but otherwise we're doing fine. As for heat, I'd be happy to send you at least an extra 15C! Regards & Hugs // paul
