numbers, numbers, numbers

Floyd's, #53, last panel, his Y-Refine25to37 order, came in yesterday.    It's posted.    Anyone been inspired to look at Floyd's line?    Hard to get a handle on it because the given names are so ordinary.    James, William and Chester.    Only Chester might be a little bit distinctive.
It's a nice thing that other's have the same or similar interests to ours.    I've had a kind of a sense of when SMGF did updates to their database, but nothing more than that.    Even then, it was just a 'sense' that they did it every three months or so.

Luckily, others have been interested enough to keep track.    Tim Janzen posted this list of updates to the SMGF database.    Make of it what you will.
