Since I am in process of packing and moving to Grand Palms ALF over last days this week and will be off-line April 14-19, will forgo a pick this week and next.
Good luck and nice picking to all. ModE.

Hope this is a good move for you Mod! We had a friend who was in an ALF locally and she had a great time there...lots of activities plus she put her bird feeder right outside her window so had a show all the time.

My horse turned his head around a few moments ago and said " Why don't we just present the collar
of roses to Uncle23 & his horse, ONVO now & save a day and half of racing. They're up already
+13.6% today.
