Ruqayya,

You answered the question I actually asked, so I removed the blue. I also removed the detached storm cloud; once the strip was gone, the cloud looked like a second advertisement for my hand. The card now distinguishes sheet number from outlet number, and the hose carries the obstruction by crossing the worker’s legs. Your refusal of the present version was useful enough that I have backed your valve for the Keystone.
