Some nice pics on the roll, Ed. Thanks for sharing. Good to see road trips that aren't just twelve hours on the Interstate.

Thank you for your commentary here throughout this remarkable season. When watching was too nerve-wracking, it helped to see your posts, just slightly ahead of the action on TV . . .
