Love this, Milton. I won't deny that I haven't tried it before. Hey, I was a hippy back on the day (lol). Congrats on your win! Charlie

Thanks, Charlies. I appreciate your comment. I doubt that many of us could honestly say we've never tried it. I certainly did.

Thanks for your congratulations, Beata. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "poses a challenge for proofs." Oh, do you mean "professors?" I see. Sorry.

That's what I hear, too, Kim. I have tried it maybe three times in my lifetime...not something I particularly enjoyed.

Oh, but also, it sometimes sends the concentration off in another direction! And, sometimes, it is very good for creativity...I think!

Thanks, Lasaad. I'm not sure it is a poem, frankly, more an observation!

Quite true, as I always wonder what an "high" driver will do next . . . ..

Rico, thanks for your thoughts. Yes, I think we have all followed one. My son (a former policeman) said he would much rather pull over someone high on pot than a drunk.
