Hmmm, this is 10th one I clicked on and I can't seem to find a new one to respond to. Just now seeing an old message you left me here why you like writing vertical. An interesting perspective.

Thanks, Andrea. We're so used to reading left to right - going mostly vertical seems to slow things down to me, making for more a feeling of peace, or could be a longer session of unrelenting dread, or setting the reader up for a surprise, etc.

Nature does brings us these gifts for free if we only take the time to look and see. Beautifully done Doug.

Right on, Chris, thanks. When I worked in Jamaica, you could pick ripe mangoes right off the tree. That kicked ass.

Cheers, Rick. I love the evening in all its guises. "Civil Twilight, Nautical Twilight, Astronomical Twilight." It's all about that Solar Elevation Angle, baby.
