    Yesterday I thought you had a case of the blues. Today my perspective snapped into that place I go when the stupid around me have used up all the straws, paper towels, and patience stockpiled for years.

    Perhaps that is where you are too.

I send silver platters (larger than usual openings in traffic) and half penny nails (for the lack of a nail the kingdom was lost). May they appear when your need is for the good of all and may it harm none.

    Hope you are feeling better.
    I suspected you were not feeling well when you didn't jump on Drumps "He knew the job was dangerous when he took it" comment.
