Cool...and a lot of rain as the reason why, makes sense :-) Science is magic. I think the only part of science that contains no magic is within stated laws. Everything else allows for thought, wonderment, and an eternal quest for disproving what can be described by no other means as being "magic" . Thanks for visiting.
