I feel like May through October flew by in a flash. Time has a funny way of psyching us out. That is why every second is precious on our time on Earth. Focus your priorities on what is really important. The “Cake Wars” marathon can wait another day…
This month, we had many PAX reach 100 posts. As of now, we have 13 PAX who have reached 100 posts. 17 PAX reached that milestone last year. We are definitely on target to surpass 17 this year with two months still to go. Here is the latest list of people who have already reached 100 posts or have a moderate-to-high probability of reaching that this year (70 or above). Unless there are more posts added to the calendar, there are 52 more posts left in 2020.

Houdini once again topped the charts for October at 24 posts with Wallflower at an oh-so-close second at 23 posts. Happy to see that our FNGs are getting in on the action and it is not a monopoly from Ron Swanson or Crab Legs (although it took the ‘rona to get Crab Legs to post less than 20 times in a month).
Our overall numbers have leveled off with school in session and the cooler weather coming in. Keep the FNGs coming!

By the way, I know not many of you have been traveling much this year. However, I do count posts from outside chapters. If you post something or just message me that you did that, I will count it.
