    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

      If I have a vote, I cast it for Eli69, it?s the view of the shot that I like most, it has an artistic appeal.
      While I do agree with Don, I must admit that I?m guilty of removing my baffle sometimes too.

        Theme for this week is "Same Name". We all do it, look for Streets, Roads or places containing our name or something similar. In my case I have a "Scott" road and a "Marvin" road within 3 miles of the house.

              Yes you do have a vote, but 1) voting is on Fridays and 2) in the event of a tie (as this time) the vote is broken by the first tie-breaking vote. Which was cast about fifteen minutes before your vote.

                I'm glad the tie finally got broken. I was thinking about a way to sort this if it ever comes to a stalemate.

                How about if no tie breaking vote comes in by whatever is deemed a reasonable time, whichever pic was posted first during the week takes the win? Of course, we've had ties before and they always get broken eventually...

                Anyway, just a thought. Now to upload a pic I grabbed earlier today.

                    No Ride today. (sleet most all morning).
                    Is a David street a couple blocks away, but nothing interesting there.

                    Did see this on my Ride-RT-Home this past summer.
                    Stopped and took this pic real quick, rather documentary snapshot, just to send to my brothers.


                    Have lived around Michigan in about 10 places since I was 4 years old, and never heard of another Varner here untill I was about 40 years old, and then none after that.
                    Although, when I was a kid and we went to visit my Dads family in Johnstown PA area, it was quite a thing to look in phonebook and see almost two pages of them.
