You are in Great Form as in the Past  --  why have you denied us this 
wit so long?~!?~!?~!

Not burning but thank you for the update.       Did I miss the building 
date for the Zoo Loop??       Maybe expansion possibilities were thought 
to be quite Nil at the time.       Also, other service could be run out 
Vine if expansion was needed  --  that Zoo line was quite 
circuitous.       But this Is a very Valid observation but also 
something that could have been easily changed had expansion been needed.
