Miss Ooly I love that purple passion cab, and it got a vote from me!

Congrats, pauls! That Queenie was an awesome cab.

Congrats to the rest of the contestants, too. It was a difficult choice to make this round.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Well thanks everyone, I will step down for a month now, we do have Plume agate but not anywhere as good as I have seen posted on here.
On second thoughts, maybe I will cut one just to boost numbers, not a chance of getting a vote though.

	Any agate is fun to cut and polish, I would post some pictures of the stuff I have finished but unable to post pictures nor can I add any posts also have a sweet geode I recently cut. So I put this up to see if I can add to profile nothing else will.
