Thanks for that tip!

And I just checked out the pics of Navajos and they even look some of the uncles and aunts And I of course enjoyed watching the Navajo "windtalkers" in that Nicholas Cage movie.

Acc. to contemporary brain researchers, a brain's flash of thought is not linear (e.g., like a bowling ball traveling down the lane). Rather, they say it's like a flash of electricity that radiates in all directions in 3D. So I think we are all just being L. da Vinci thinkers here

This is not of course to abuse the kindness and liberality of the mods in allowing some bit of freewheeling discussion

Jim, this long post of yours is super. What would we do without you?

I read your post several times, in fact. And John Keegan's The Face of Battle is also one of my favorite books by the way!
