This small paragraph from C.S. Lewis radically changed my life

@amygoodchild Amy, these are wonderful! Your work ticks all the boxes; it just keeps getting more engaging and inspiring.

Beware the Walmart bait-and-switch! My wife ordered
the deer pictured below. A small box eventually arrived containing a small deer 11" tall and parts to assemble the other two. Thanks to the long delivery lead time, no time to get something that was the proper size.

I'm interested in opinions and experience with legacy ANSI-style flowcharts (boxes for actions, diamonds for decisions, arrows for go-to-style flow, etc.). It really amounts to combos of use-or-not, like-or-not.
