  1. Hello. I am always impressed and humbled at the quality of your expertise and output. As a an acknowledgement, I’ve made a small contribution towards a warming coffee. By the way, I run Onpavementgrey.com and try to keep it up to date but technical expertise and time conspire against me. Good luck with your work. It’s valuable and appreciated, Jack (I’m not even sure if this is going to get to you!)
