Luckily there some good OPK news today.  At least the market must have believed it was nicely positive. 

[architecto25]

Uncle, just a quick thought for you ..... scoring these races sort of like golf. "Low number wins, etc."

Today, you thought you took the basement from me, when I had it yesterday.

             Nope, I'm in the basement. My 4 races this week (7/6/7/6  = 26 )

                                                           Your 4 races ...........  (6/5/6/7  = 24 )

             But, we all know the #1 spot tomorrow gets the trophy, probably kadee71.

[kadee79]

I doubt that Arch. Things are going to have to change quite a bit for me to move up.

[uncle23]

Arch...
Where I'm at...Chicago area ... our basement is cool in summer and warm in the winter... so I'm ok...

Kadee... you are so modest...great picks....

Clarkl2...thanks for all your work running this contest...
