<div>My score this year is very dismal<br>
</div>
of course I got a "hey let's go fishing at the
lake house call"<br>
</div>
and therefore spent less time on the air........<br>
<br>
</div>
But I am wondering if it mattered that much<br>
(3 hours this year versus ten last year
probably) duh !!! :)<br>
<br>
</div>
So I looked graphically at last year versus this
year and that is when the images shouted at me the
question, did everyone's score dive, <br>
due to no activity on 10 and 15 ??<br>
<br>
The graphics are on my Blog..............<br>
