While I usually participate in these challenges I quit voting long ago. I have never been able to bring myself to vote for myself. Stupid, I know, but that's the way I am. Since most people do vote for themselves (at least it seems so to me) it quickly became evident that to vote for someone else was tantamount to voting against myself; in effect a two stroke penalty. So I simply quit voting and let the cards fall where they may. Whatever you decide, please keep the monthly challenge going. I enjoy the challenge and look forward to it every month. This month I just happened to be out of town. jon
