    I enjoy your ramblings because you can describe what you see so that I can understand and appreciate the vision... and I'll admit I'm a bit jealous that I can't get there myself... YET! LOL..

    And you'll get there yourself one day, you've got youth on your side.
    To quote my Granddad: "You young fellas of today don't know what hard times are! Why, when I was your age we were so broke we had to use both sides of the toilet paper!"
