I don't think Ponce De Leon ever made it this far west. Reportedly, the Conquistador that came through these parts was called Hernando DeSoto. I don't think he was looking for the mythical Fountain of Youth and he didn't find much of the thing he was looking for, gold, either. If only he'd known that a bit west of here is America's only Diamond mine. Unfortunately, I didn't find a lot of gold either on Saturday and the Sweet Bird of Youth has definitely flown away for me, but one of these days maybe I'll find the mother lode. I keep trying and hope springs eternal. I've been thinking for awhile maybe I should play more horizontal plays and apparently I was right in my thinking as the only plays I've made this year that were worth playing were a couple of Pick 3s. Anyway, thanks for the nice write-up RQ.

Thanks Don. Can’t let RQ’s abacus fall in disuse.
