Yep, and I omitted the word "see" from the next sentence. There are probably a few other typos I didn't catch as well. Posting without proof-reading will do that to you.
But hey - it's pro-bono 'literature', so you'll just have to take it as it's posted.
As for thongs, you would be surprised at the intricate patterns they can put on so little material. In this instance, red white and blue are plainly visible under close inspection.
