George, if yers ain't black, oh wait.......yer in the big city....
Mine has a million stars.....(Kansas has it's good points.)
Yup, black.
That's good. Based on my results I thought I may have been in an
alternate universe.
Where in Kansas are you, Rockhead? I was raised north of Topeka, and I can assure you that there are lots more stars in Idaho skies than in Kansas.
Much agrred, Doc. Spent a night or two in Pocatello.
Your stars win, but I been to Bahstin as well....
Their stars are mostly in the restaurants.

Hey, Cowdoc. I was born in Topeka, and grew up in Wichita. And my wife has family near Twin Falls.
There's lots more stars in Arizona than Kansas, too. :wink:
North of Topeka is mostly Nebraska, Doc. Got ancestry up that way.
Im down in Cowtown for a bit, but my heart lies northward a touch...
Interesting, Tico - I was also born in Topeka, but raised in a little tiny place called Netawaka, which is indeed pretty damned close to Nebraska. And if y'all really want to see stars up close and personal, go to the top of a mountain pass on a clear, cold, winter night. I swear you can almost reach up and pick 'em.
L-mur, you guys. Geez, it took me a year, catch up already!
What a dismal and drear day, teams tanking far and yonder.
I may give you all some pause, that when a friend and I were coming back to LA from skiing, in her olden porshe, we got two, count 'em, two, flat tires in the Mojave that Thanksgiving weekend. On the first of those two tire shitz, we got out into the cold and looked up. She murmured about all the stars, I said, 'huh'?
I'm night blind and always have been, can see a few stars, sometimes.
What?
LOVE THE SKIES YOU'RE WITH!
I saw some of the most beautiful night sky in Botswana in April of 2002. The stars sparkled, and the Milky Way was awesome!

We've had 11 different first place winners over the 17 weeks of the regular season. Ragman had three weekly wins, CowDoc, JPB, lmur, and wandeljw each won twice, and LTX, Pantalones, Rockhead, ehbeth, fbaezer, and jespah each had one first place finish.
JPB wrote: Tenn vs Indy. Do you still want 25 as your tiebreaker?
Don't ever listen to JPB, CI.
The devil told her to do it! LOL
We ended up with 19 players who were active through the end of the season.
CowDoc maintains his 4-game lead over Ragman while LTX and ehbeth end up in a tie for third. CI keeps his lock on 5th and Rockhead leaps up into a tie for 6th with rjb. Wandel has sole ownership of 8th place and Pantalones and osso tie for 9th finishing up the top 10. The rest of us made a valiant effort and will push ahead to a better end in the playoffs. Well done EveryOne!

Congratulations to Doc, good job in trying circumstances!
and I'll say I'm happy to share a spot with Pantalones. Also congrats to Rockhead re his great leap.
My happiest thought heading into the new year is....
Had I not tossed a bone at my fishes, Ida doubled the Guvenator....
