Flashback to a classic Wile E. Coyote cartoon, where he paints stripes on the road to direct the Road Runner into a granite wall where he had painted a tunnel. The Road Runner of course runs into the tunnel that isn't there. How long before some "coyote" does the same thing in real life, directing a Tesla into a wall? -- Excellence does not require perfection. -- Henry James -- Lee A.
