Tom Cunningham Date: 2/16/2023 1:18:00 AM Reminds me of our expanding universe, wonder what will happen when it reaches the end. Tom Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 2/16/2023 2:17:00 AM Ripples right back to the original splash Tom, where else can it go, cheers David

Terry Flood Date: 2/15/2023 11:24:00 AM If you throw a stone in a pond and count the ripple rings, does it tell you how old the pond is? No? Smart contemplation, David. I shall view ripples with more respect in future.
