    Thanks for keeping this going guys. I typed up a fairly long post the other day just trying to throw a few ideas out there to help move along.and noticed Bob's post a minute earlier, so as not to add to the confusion, deleted mine. Plus I type very slowly these days and was late for work, much like today...

    As awkward as this has been I'm looking forward to seeing different interpretations of this theme.

    I also wondered if instead of chiming in with written votes, maybe tallying up "Likes" could encourage more participation in voting. For me, coming up with a phrase other than "I vote for Pedro" gets harder each week. Maybe others feel the same? Hitting the like button is quick and easy though and could likely make it simpler. Any thoughts on that?

    I have a pic in mind for the theme here, but it may be in the bucket of photos I closed a long time ago.

      There ya go Norm, get creative. But you know what they say: "Pics, or it didn't happen. I don't have any photographic evidence of my many "get-off"'s as a kid riding dirt bikes an 3-wheelers, but lots of things on my bike were beyond buffing-out

        Had to keep it going, Roger. Since you brought us this game, we've played for over four years. I'd miss it.

        Several of us here belong to a photo forum that sometimes uses the like buttons for voting. So it certainly crossed my mind.
        But we don't have a way to limit the voting to one per person, although we could change how the vote is counted. The photo forum just lets you "like" as many as you want with total votes winning. Don't know if we want that, but it might be worth considering.

          And Rob, ditto what Bob said. Stick around, you're like our favorite uncle.
          Agreed, the multi quote function is easier now. These new changes are just like anything else, you have to practice and experiment with it, then maybe someday you will even like it.

                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.

                            Oh, wait... this happened by getting buffed with the pavement, at highway speed

                            when side case opened up... and weight of contents broke the lanyard, so top of case dragged on pavement till I could pull over.

                            my camera expericed more out in the lanes of traffic....


                            First pic is entry. Second pic is just more of the story.

                            Actaully I did buff out most of the larger scrapes, then shined up the plastic some, and colored in the white layer.
