I'm still on vacation and I don't have a good internet connection. I temporarily posted them somewhere else. There are still a couple more that I'd like to add when they become. If I have time I will try to do the previews and predictions. Sorry for the inconvience.

Going on vacation
Hello,
I will be going on vacation for the next week starting tomorrow. Not sure if I will be able to do links or not, I just found out the wireless is not working in the room and I can't cancel out of the reservation.
I will be back next Saturday.
Thanks for visiting my blog and sorry for the inconvenience. Have a good one.
Captain
