GreetingsKL and Gang,Reminded me ofkids writing signs on barn walls

weld together,and suddenly it's in the Guggenheim Mus.
Like those oldCadillacs planted vertically in the ground
somewhere inthe desert.How 'boutit ? We can gather our knackered Tron parts
as "Art-Nouveau." A few boot-heel and hammer knocks
for added-touch.....

M400 #805 - reminded of Dickson's "air artwork"
M400 #1037 - [torque to you later]The new motorsoffered by Streetly enable one to
