Since I am still unable to create new posts, due to various technical and logistical reasons, I am repeating this cool summer soup with the hope that even if some of you, Beautiful People, have seen it the first time around, five years is sufficient time to forget.

Sorry about your tech problems, but at least you sent us to a post from before I came on board. I liked the nod to Noah’s pairs.

I thought that reposting some of the very old ones would not be a bad idea, since quite a few of my followers have not seen those.
Thank you very much, Derrick.
