  1. Apt theme Incognito!
    Col, 32A (JULY) also fits the theme and can be highlighted.

  2. As soon as I saw 30AC and 31AC, I guessed the theme. It was long overdue from Incognito!
    Thanks

  3. The epic quote by 30A still gives one goosebumps, "One small step.."
    Thanks Incognito.

  8. I think the Reference List needs small correction. It is not N=No;G=Good
    It is NG=No Good
