EVERYONE'S A BIT IRISH TODAY !
Yes, another episode of As The World Shamrock Spins! It's Day 17 or 18 of Mudness Madness, and vaporizations off the progress board continue...albeit more slowly. The Erging Universe loosed the grip of 200 from the 5 K a day board - surely it was centripetal force! (Lunies stayed at 37), and 50 fell from the 10K a day board (Lunies lost one, falling to 21!).
Lucky 7th!

These Challenges are full of insidious little surprises! While chasing the Challenge goal, sometimes you find that you've exceeded your own expectations for the year...or maybe you didn't start with expectations, but now you see that there is a goal that is quite possible. Agree with Tombeur that we should resist being totally tied to the numbers...and celebrate where we are! Still....those goals loom large now that we are heading towards the annual meter finish line. WIth 44 or 45 days of possibility streaming ahead of us, here's what it looks like for some of the Lunie crew chasing the million meter and multi-millions goals: (PS - I used an arbitrary cut off of individual being within 300K of that next shiny goal)
