From what I read, Royal had more than one glitch pop up over the weekend, and they were taking away other things and giving $50 for those glitches too. Then, people said the got $100 OBC, instead of $50, and a little while later they were clawing those back, because obviously it was a glitch. I think someone brought their cat to work, and it fell asleep on their keyboard and created the mess. That said, mine still shows I purchased it, and I havenβt had any OBC show up. Well, I donβt sail for quite a few months, so they have time to straighten it out.

Still looks like they put a two sided photo in the middle of the acrylic. I will reserve my opinion until I see one in person.

Speaking of winning things, it appears that my niece won the βHunt Like A Girl Plus Oneβ contest. (I know that probably sounds politically incorrect in more than one way). Anyhow, the contest was sponsored by NSSF and Beretta, and the winner gets a four day, all expense paid trip to Kansas, and it includes safety training and hunting. The βplus oneβ means they can take another woman with them to introduce them to, or make them more confident in hunting. She will be taking the custodian from her school, who retired this year. There was a 10 day, online voting period that ended last Friday, and you could vote once per day. She managed to get almost 4 times the votes as the nearest competitor. It probably helped that her hometown newspaper had a front page story, with a voting link. She won one of their past contests, and they get a lot of nice gear to bring home with them.

And just like that, that $100 my grandson got, was spent on sports memorabilia. When he was over to our house, he asked if I had any from when I was growing up. I said no, all my baseball cards ended up in bicycle spokes, then were thrown away. (Oh, what some of those are worth now!) So I told him, all I have is a 1960 Pirateβs World Series pennant with a team photo. Both his, and my SILβs eyes lit up when I gave it to them. It is now hanging in their man cave. And yes, that is Roberto Clemente in the bottom right.

We are in that snow belt that gets lake effect snow. Been very lucky that the only time I have touched my snow blower this year, was when I bumped into it as I walked out the garage. Only six more weeks, and maybe I can put it away. I looked at pictures from two years ago, and we had a pretty good snow on April 21st. I know about the south and snow. I took my family along to a conference in Mobile, Alabama one year, thinking we could get away from the winter. As it turns out, it snowed while we were there, and everyone was in a full blown panic. They closed everything for a little dusting.

@dani negreanu Dani, I wanted to thank you for posting about the Premier Pass. A couple weeks ago, when I was having an optimistic moment, I booked a cruise for later this year. That was available for my sailing, so I booked it. It looked like a good deal, just for the internet alone. And while I am saying thanks, I want to thank all of you who have offered prayers and support for my daughter. I am glad we have so many kind and caring people who have stuck with this thread.
