Oh, Line, I'm mentally jumping up and down. Sort of a great minds think alike thing. Please read my, "Seeking Mars" from 12-16 and you'll understand why I like this very much, and why it resonates with me! All the best ... CayCay (Strand didn't like mine, but that means nothing)

Well-done statement of truth, Line! And how about those insanely expensive "nature studies" intended to determine who-really-cares things?! Janice
