You know Phil...there are some genuinely impressive people on this board...folks who continue to inspire me with their thoughtfulness, compassion, positivity, and clarity...and keep me coming back.
You are clearly one of them.
I was thinking of the ol' bus analogy while wandering about this morning...(mighta finally worked out your turnip truck thing...) and the way I see it...it never mattered one iota who built the bus, or changed the tyres and did the last oil change, it's more about trusting the bloke that's driving it, and believing the bus your on is going to take you where you need to be.
Otherwise, you'd just get off.
Mechanics are a dime a dozen. Good drivers however, are not so easy to find. I think when we jumped on this bus, we struck it lucky...lot of people who know how to drive, but don't need to drive all the time...happy to share, take a turn, lean into the corners together, happy to hand over the steering wheel and give HP a turn.
Life is good mate, and I sure am glad this bus picked me up! Sending you a thankyou Phil, and to all new comers...welcome aboard, this is one funky bus, enjoy the ride!
