People who have purposely or inadvertently supported my pinball daily post streak by providing ideas, links to articles, and other interesting pinball happenings. If you haven’t seen yours yet, I haven’t forgotten about them. They are in the works.
I’m sure I have forgotten something, someplace, or someone. That is usually what happens whenever you make a list of anything. If you are helping to advance the pinball hobby in any way, I am appreciative of your efforts and enthusiasm. Keep flipping!
What are you thankful for?
