Two flavors, two temperaments, two cows and two wheels.

No limits, but lots of varied and not always compatible “systems”.

There used to be a “post office”, now it is just a hologram.

Seems better to stay afloat and go help when you wish, by being in a good state to do so. 

Looking up, taking the higher ground.

How being Liked has changed over the years.

From a smile at sunrise, to a bow at the dock, we are thanked and acknowledged.

Singing the praises without any religion.

Keeping in step.

Listen to none of it – ‘if it don’t rhyme it ain’t broke’, said the bicycle to the spoke.
