Tommaso -

[[Makes me think of my friend years ago who would point to the empty glass carburetor reservoir on his lawnmower motor and say, "Now it's running on fumes." Which it would do, for a minute or two. Then the fumes ran out and it stopped.]]

If he hadn't lost faith and looked at the carburetor and remarked on it, it could still be running. -g-

Or, he could say - "Just because the historical charts show that the grass height of a lawn has tended to crash when the G/S ratio (grass/snake) exceeds 4, that is no reason to say that we are not in a new era of global warming and residential jungles. -g-

Regards, Don
