I'm sure that our legal team [perhaps the firm of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe?] has more than enough to keep them busy without spending time on this investigation. Let's have as good a Thanksgiving as we all can and think about our next contest instead.

I fired Dewey for insubordination and hired a lady lawyer, Ima Gunna, to take his place. She's much more decisive than Dewey was. And yes, lets all have a fun, safe and responsible Thanksgiving!!!

It is fun to sow discord and make baseless claims as we've seen in the world at large, but in this case, I imagine that I probably just misinterpreted the rules or didn't count a score. Probably just an error on my part and if I was guessing, it might be an exacta score, that seems to be where I make the most errors. Not that big a deal. As some would say "what's in it for me?" other than just curious how to score things right. I'll go over the scores in question and if I can't find the error, I'll send them to you Don and you can school me on it unless you are so busy with Turkey day preparations, that you can't get to it.

I have been playing for ten years and after all these years I still have no clue how to score a points contest nor have I ever tried to. All I know is if the totals are low I have a punchers chance.

Why overload your plate, besides you've done a wonderful job with the ROI results for years and years.

Just an observation. Tom runs another contest and it hasn't posted since the Breeders Cup. He didn't post Saturday at another contest either. Cruzan did so maybe he was just busy.

Default Roamin

Roamin

He has been missing for the last three weeks in my own contests on my website

HE NEVER MISSES ONE AND USUALLY THE FIRST TO POST

We have a Great relationship via email on a regular basis
...... a good communication history
and I have not heard back from one email

I am genuinely concerned it may be related to the pandemic
hopefully not

Other than that tempest in a teapot, does anyone know what happened to Roamin? He's usually the first in the gate. Things seem amiss when he doesn't show up. Hope he's not sick. Sorry, just being my usual OCD self.

Yes, I was wondering about him too. And we are missing Cruzan and Plenilune. Plenilune is recovering from a significant but successful medical procedure but not sure about Cruzan and Roamin. Plenilune will be back soon we hope.

I saw HockeyDad40 play the card for part of the BC contest. I sent him a PM to see if he wanted to get with us on the weekly contests. Anybody here know him? We could use more players.
