That is how we see it. Things often happen so fast. We replay them in slow motion. The shootout at the OK Corral, for one. Great write!

Those slow-motion duels to the death can be awfully chilling, eh? Thanks, Kim

I like to see that coward Putin go up against Tom in a duel. My money is on Tom, for the hate he has for Putin. I would risk my life to dual him without thinking...

I hear you, Michael, and yet though I'm not a betting man, I myself would never underestimate the wily Russian... I'd just rather see Tom take his potshots at Vladimir on Poetry Soup... ~ Just sayin'
