OCMR MEMBERS:

Let’s return to the beginning.

My first prediction came early Tuesday afternoon before any precincts closed.
I sent a numerical prediction for the Electoral College to 50 of my email friends.
Instead of adding a couple dozen more OCMR individuals,
I took the easy way out – hit the Freelist button.

Received some reasonable and some passionate comments from my friends
which resulted in developing a nice matrix of red/blue over/under “bets”
that has yet to select its “attaboy” winner.

Unfortunately, the OCMR response took a different tact.
It was though I had walked across neighbor Cratchety’s lawn.
I then began compiling a different set of predictions
which I now share with the OCMR Freelist group.

Harry’s second prediction(s):

1.that some email respondents will error and broadcast to the whole string instead of a select group

2.that new voices will join in

3.that others will over react

4.that penalties could arise

5.that more banter follows

6.that the noise level rises

7.that this becomes a small tempest in a teapot

8.that outside authority (By-laws) is called upon to quell the disturbance

9. that in the end, the final result was as written:

"a valid topic to /enhance member communication."

/

Yes, in the end, OCMR members began emailing each other again.

*Thank you all for participating.*
Now lets _keep communicating_, but focus on train related topics.

I promise not to toss another fox into the hen house
    --at least until 2021.

For now:  Whatchadoin???Tell us about your hobby accomplishments since March.
Harry

PS:One last observation, while the fox exited the hen house with a full belly,

this morning the farmer counted more hens than he had before.
