    Ah, the quick and the slow!

    Neat poem, and gosh, that timing, it's either all green lights or mostly, or ALL red ones!

    Darn it!

    warm regards,
    Alan

    Commentary on our current times. We all want to get out of it fast, but are "red-lighted" at our home address. Love it, Lesley!
