Diamond life, lover boy
He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
Sade, Smooth Operator

One way, he thought, the whole thing of ring fighting was hurting somebody else, deliberately, and particularly when it was not necessary. Two men who have nothing against each other get in a ring and try to hurt each other, to provide vicarious fear for people with less guts than themselves. And to cover it up they called it sports and gambled on it. He had never looked at it that way before, and if there was any single thing he could not endure it was to be a dupe.
James Jones, From Here to Eternity

I've wrestled with alligators.
I've tussled with a whale.
I done handcuffed lightning.
And throw'd thunder in jail.
Muhammad Ali

Smooth Operator, Sade

Oh my gosh, this is such a tight knit design, very well done John, I wish I could add to more my comments, but I'm not familiar with how this is done. tigs=^..^=

And may I suggest 'The Boxer' by Simon & Garfunkel as a good listen as well...looks like a lot of 'building' went into this one and lots of interesting detail...cool stuff, John.

I'm trying to see the boxer, John, I am, but what keeps rising in my eyes is a Native American totem pole, backlit by dappled sun and topped by a cloud of red. As I've said before, your excellent fractals always give my brain a workout, seeing all kinds of different things in them. Cool. Then again, applying your title does keep bringing up the harmonies of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.

Do not correct a Fool, or he will hate you. Correct a Wise man and he will appreciate you.
