Apology accepted Dave.  Any snow that comes our way as a result of your activating your snow blower, will quickly melt because of the high temperatures we will be experiencing over the next several days.

We began a 15 week cribbage tourney last night with a much smaller group of players (4 two player teams) due to our dissatisfaction with the way last year's contest were run.  It was being held in the lounge of a bowling alley several miles from where we now live and the fellow who ran it not only screwed up the scores on at least two occasions but decided that part of the weekly amount that each team paid would be charged as rent for use of his lounge. He failed to take into account that he was getting revenue from the drinks and food that the players were ordering while they played and there was no crowd of customers waiting for the tables that were occupied by those players, so he wasn't losing any business. The site for this year's tourney is our clubhouse so travel time is much, much less and two of the other players also live here. We won 5 points (one win and one skunk) while the team we played took 6 points (three wins) which I thought was a fairly good start since we hadn't played cribbage since last year's tournament ended.
