Beautifully put, Janie. I too have experienced the frustration of 'the Cat stuck in the Mud'. I have zero understanding of the technical complexities with which Max has to contend & would feel churlish if I complained. I don't contribute to the running costs as often as I should; something I intend to rectify. I get out more than I put in...that imbalance tweaks my conscience & needs to be sorted, pdq!
