My great-great uncle Graham. He was living in Massachusetts when, one night, he stood too near the fire when those bean burritos backed up on him, and he came to on the shore of France.

On August 18, 1932 James A Mollison made the first Westward trans-Atlantic solo flight. But he wasn't the second person to fly solo trans-Atlantic. Missed it by 3 months from being the second.

I thought that being #2 would be good enought for you.

I'm afraid I'll have to turn the award over to Robin. If you look you'll see that he answered it correctly five minutes before me. EVEN THOUGH HE CAN'T SPELL!

Actually there is a good side to it either way. We both deal with Goodman. I guess it could be said that Goodman is #1 for the time being(and #2).

Being first is not important. Being correct is not important. The best answer is what gets recognized. HTG GUY you are the winner, and Robin is his standard #2. The decision of the judge is arbitrary and final.

... where if I call for service because it is 105 in the house because the a/c is broken, no one ever calls me back. Please Robin reconsider! Hold it now, I remember that I don't have a Goodman system, but rather a Rheem and it is working great and I have a 10 year warranty, so put me on your list Robin. You do know that I declared you the winner of the Color question don't you? You can't win them all can you?
