So, tonight's net will occur during a 2016 Bonus Time session -- with a very special treat of our very last Question of 2016 being -- by unpopular request -- a little tricky!
Accordingly, please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.
So, from the ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and myself [K7LWA],
