Very true!

Each month brings new finds--sometimes it is a large slate of options to choose from and sometimes the options are more focused.

 

Each and every one (in both categories) is drool-worthy in my estimation.

 

 

Cheers.

I drooled so much this year that I had no saliva left by mid-October!

Interestingly, 23 people have voted so far and the score is 14 for both entries.

And now we're 17 to 14 (31 total) with a listed 30 members voting. Something seems off in the overall count. We'll take this up with the company that makes the forum software and see if their smart people can get to the bottom of this.

The Invertebrate Poll totals did add up correctly last time I looked.

I'm personally glad there are only two...it's difficult enough just picking between them.

Very close so far... 28 to 29 votes.  This one might be down to the minute!
