On Friday 3-18 I had set for no mail according to the info I have. I received conformation that I was set vacation. So naturally I assumed that I was set vacation/nomail What a BIG not so pleasant surprise to find my mail box with 353 message from the list. Did something change while I was gone? Seems strange that when I received the email back before I left, confirming that I was set for no mail, that I would have so many.All of the emails are current, just received one dated today at 8:30 PM. On another subject, I was at the Diablo Valley shows. Great shows, but what a task it was to keep the ribbons, trophies from blowing away and dry. Sunday I had a very chilling experience. I had 3 showers that day, two in public at ring side!! I was drenched when the canopy's overflowed on my head, down my back,etc.. Once was enough, but I got a repeat ! Not a thrill, but a chill!!! A side from the weather, everything else was just great. Both days it was 5 points in dogs, and the bitches were awarded BOW both days, so each of the winners got 5 points. We haven't had any 5 pointers for a while.....NICE ! I'm sure the winners feel great about those 5 pointers. Congratulations to all!!
