Too much honor. <blushing>
(as one of my Bangkok friends once commented in another place)
But thanks a million anyway, Nicolas, for setting it up for me.
Please Mary, just go on with your thaughts.
We're all waiting for good read

Well, they may have to be stated briefly, as there's a thunderstorm brewing outside this minute! And here in Nashville, thunderstorms make power outages more often than I like to remember.
Just, rambling, BTB, does anyone reading here have a good capture of a lightning strike? I would really love to see one--I would imagine it to be harder to catch than a believable moon. Though I *have* seen a few of those.
Would anyone like to talk about how believable photographs are achieved?
The background of this new thread is that Sean wrote something that really intrigued me in a post to a long thread with the title (shortened by me) "Smilies." It was an analysis of a particular grammatical construction in English (with a discussion thrown in of usage for non-capped "english" as a noun and capped "English" as a noun that branched off, and was a take I'd never seen before).
So I wanted to pay attention to Asher's well-described vision of the architecture of the house of OPF (Sean has said yes--so I'll start that thread in a little bit) and Nicolas was kind enough to say that I had the right idea.
Then it started hurting my conscience that I was rambling on in my reply to Nicolas with thoughts and opinions totally irrelevant to "Smilies" and I included a lefthanded apology for that. But since Nicolas--and everyone else here--treats me like an old friend, here I am with my very own thread in the Layback Cafe.
Enough for now. Like all artists, IMO, I do like to send "I" messages. But all the time, as I write, I'm thinking of all of you.
Delightedly,
Mary
