Greetings

In a week where 6 "wienermobiles" raced in an Indy 500 pre-game event, where two 90 year old friends have been passing the same birthday card back and forth since 1944, where a soybean powder spill completely covered and shut down a New York state highway, where a Michigan couple won a $2 million lottery prize; on their anniversary, where a man swam around the entire circumference of Martha's Vineyard—the filming location of the movie Jaws—to raise awareness for shark conservation, and where a cow caught in a catastrophic flood in a coastal Australian town was found alive on a beach 11 miles away, we're still talking games here at Meeple Mountain.
