Thanks, Fizz, for leaving a clue to help guide us in the right direction. I was just getting ready to say . . . J is first, and so is the K.

I believe what might help in the clue dept. is the J plays over and always keep in mind what's coming up next in the deck.

hussein, I believe that the International Date Line works like this: in one part of Alaska it is 11:01PM, and in the more easterly part it is 12:01 AM at the beginning of the next day. It is hard for me to wrap my head around it, but basically you can step over the line one inch or even one centimeter and you are in tomorrow, or likewise, step backward and go into yesterday!

Kenright, Karl, it is the map of the world with Alaska on the top in red. I think it also shows the Date Line going thru it... maybe... I couldn't get it large enough to be sure. Hope you have a lovely night with your dear Inge next to you. So glad you are doing better!

Rachel from alaska I can't make out what your new avatar says. I guess it has to do with the International Date Line. Is it so? LOL

kanguro azzuro I was scoring at around 50. During my wife's illness I could not play and slipped to 180. I now finished all the games I missed but still got up only to 117. I agree with you that if there is a bad period one ought not be penalized to have to start back on the bottom, but this is how the system works and I don't believev it can be changed.

dphifer, Hussein and all, I didn't know the international time line went through Alaska until 2 wks ago! My goodness, that is amazing we are in today and in tomorrow at the same time. I googled it and came up with a Wikipedia offering regarding Alaska and the Inter. Time Line.

dphifer Thank you Denise for encourging the sisters chat which I also enjoyed. I thought that they are back. As you indicated I now recognize that although they play they don't chat as much. I second your encouragig them to be a fully active participants in the chats also. Thank you LOL
