My apologies for not posting scratches etc. Got a good excuse you snow bunnies can't duplicate very easily though. We got called at 130 am with news that 8' tsunami was headed our way and due here by about 11 am. It was a mad dash to pack valuables and get ready to move and quite sobering. The tsumami hit our beach with max 1.5 ft fluctations, mostly a yawn.

It is surprisingly simple to make value decisions under that pressure when space is limited to a couple of medium sized cars, but probably made simpler by having insurance. Computer, taxes, pictures, wife (not in that order BTW) all made it out in good order. Worst that happened was that when we moved back in a couple of hours later, we found dust behind everywhere that we hadn't looked at in two years! Imagine that!

No bets, but winners were my top two horses for GP 7 and 8. Could not find the 11 as winner of marathon. Hopefully tomorrow SA will run again. If I find anything interesting I'll post the race.
