Also, thanks to Mahaffie for not screwing up my calculations with his knee-jerk photo junkets (keeping them to a predictable number, that is). :) Hey...do these new comments make this the longest-running thread (in terms of time) on the blogosphere???

Inner demon voice: Don't listen to him! dammit! There may be a sucker born every minute, but they avoid you like the plague. Strike while the talons are sharp! Inner photographer: Hmmm.

It has been lucky for me so far. Last year Atkins resigned on my birthday. So it will also be the one year anniversary of that event. :) OK, I am voting for March 27th, my birthday.

BUT, you are talking Mahaffie. He has this penchant to just up and drive where ever the hell he feels like it and get all snappy with his camera. On that tid-bit, the guess should be rolled back to mid-February, but that's crazy talk. Hmm... March 20th and he doesn't trade it in...as obsessed as he is with this, he wouldn't dare miss the opportunity to take a picture of all 9's and then celebrate the 100,000th mile.
