ReplyDeleteDear Jim,
ReplyDeleteHappy you like some of them. I also do not agree with all my septoes. all the time; existence is too interesting to be described in a few words.
Re No. 8 I have intentionally Not used yang-yin, because this is a form of harmony, while siamese twins are surely not enchanted for each other's existence in such a strong connection.
