10am. (Mon.) 28 Aug. 2017       I just got on the computer; thanks for comment, Kadee. I'll use this post #6 for very brief comments

                                               this week on the storm conditions. Hope to drive down to the courthouse shortly. Lots of stories in this town.

                                               Many years ago, I first met Horton Foote on a day like today. He was the playwright for "To kill a

                                               Mockingbird".  My email : [e-mail]. That's now not as public. We have electricity;

                                               but it's raining heavy.

                                                  These storm comments should be over on Kadee's thread re: the storm. Not here any more.

                                                   Sorry about that, you'all ................

architecto25 braves the hurricane to take an early lead. The benchmark is second and kadee72 third. My home internet is still down but I have my files transferred to the work computer to make updates more convenient. I could be late posting tomorrow.

Not to worry Clark. If you can't do the contest I doubt it is a problem for any of us. Thank you for all your efforts!

Kadee books another Win for the week.  BenchMark gave her a run for the roses, but she held on.  Uncle came in Show.  Weird race this week.

[kadee79]

Really weird! Congrats to Uncle! I was up further earlier in the day, glad it held until close since it kept creeping down.
