Good God, Mackrick!

Your view is better than the Alps and the
Ocean put together! Let us know when you
start taking it for granted, will you?

Also, since they're doing the one leg, why
not do both at once and have a matched
set? Is it a money thing or is Starboard
Extremity hunky dory as-is?

Starboard leg is fine so no need to remove it.
