It's been a while since I heard "Thank God I'm a country boy":rolleyes:

My plans to mini-PWP to a milestone tonight might miss a bit. :(

I do want a pair of the cowboy boot ice skates, though. It would be my first pair of cowboy boots.

Seems like a good time to try anyways.

Seriously, what gives?

It gets good ratings. It started years ago when CBS had the Olympics and had a report on the less known sports and they went to the empty parking lot at curling. From that they got requests to show one match from those in the frozen north which they did during the day and it's been growing ever since.

I'm too old and beat up to do anything else.

You're closest to your next milestone; Olton Hall and I are also close.

The key is to hit the milestone while hitting a milestone. I'm not sure it will be possible. Depends on how many others are here.

I'm not that close and I'll noticed I passed that milestone when I'm 200 post beyond it.
