Scratch that - won't be fully settled in until the weekend most likely so I replugged my PC with the HPDP file for the time being So quick Tapie update. Ill corruptos still die eventually, and three teams are rewarded for their patience as we play Taps for Tapie. 40 points for Funeralopolis, 35 for Annami, and 25 sub points for Charles De Gaulle. And with that is a new scoreboard. Annami rockets up the scoreboard, however catching up to Funeralopolis will prove a tricky task in these final three months as he extends his own lead: 1. Funeralopolis 319 2. Annami 254 3. Perhaps 239 4. CaptainChorizo 215.32 5. Book 215 6. Pedro67 210.19 7. Eesti 210 8. Sean 208 9. markb4 201 10. gcreptile 191.32 11. msc 190.32 12.

Marion Dawson at church on August 15th. Able to walk with a walking stick! Apparently there's an Isabella Catherine Donald born December 1913, according to the Press and Journal (it's at the bottom of the article as a correction) a few days ago. I was thinking of Agnes Westwood, but apparently she died last year.

Ah, that's a good thought.
