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.

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.

I went over the scores of the 2 players in question and you were right, Don, in your calculations in the first place. In race 9, you gave Ruffian 5 points and I gave her only three. I missed that she had the win and the place and gave her the points for the win only. So now all is right with the world and we can have a peaceful Thanksgiving, if we dare. I'm still thinking about whether I should join my family in Little Rock or not. I have been isolating, but they haven't and not much way to do that with kids. I know for a fact my eldest grandson has been home from the University of Arkansas twice because of roommates that came down with Covid. So close to the vaccine becoming a reality, I might better forego Turkey Day.

Cal, that is a painful choice that you are describing, but it sounds like a wise one. Most of this year has been simply awful, but with good judgment and perhaps a bit of good fortune, we can safely make it to the time when an effective vaccine will provide added safety and protection.
Our Thanksgiving will be very different this year and it saddens me a lot. Our house has always been the place where everyone gathered for the Thanksgiving feast, gradually expanding to the long adult's table and the place where all the fun stuff happens, the kid's table. I have had the pleasure of opening the wine, offering some banal toast and then in my best Dumbledore imitation, saying, "Let the feast...begin" Our daughters and we have decided to be cautious and not have our traditional gathering. Our youngest grandson has been tasked with figuring out a way to have a virtual gathering [perhaps by zoom], but I will miss the hugs and the chaos of passing all of the many platters and even the mock argument over the final slice of pie. This too shall pass.

Yes, it's beginning to look like there is some light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. I spend a lot of time reading about things on the internet or watching TV. From that, I gathered that there are a lot of people that will supposedly be reluctant to take a vaccine. Can't say that I am in that camp. Would be first in line, if that were possible. As I understand it, vaccine will possibly be at least 90 per cent effective and maybe more which is way more than the flu vaccine. I say bring it on. Really no way for any of us to return to normal without it.
