Evening all. Superbowl Sunday is here and I'll be away from the computer for a while. Will check in when/as soon as I can. Post your predictions! I see the Ravens’s taking it if they play as they have been.

Kind surprised Ed didn't have a football theme tonight...but we have a whistler!

Hello, Vision and FRiends! Happy Super Bowl!
