It seems that people aren't sure what it takes to actually get featured in the Rain and some believe that there is a heavy bias as to which posts get featured and which don't, so it is nice to get a second chance on blog posts like yours, haha.

Hi Brian England 
As has been the case for 370 weeks, and as says in the intro, Second Chance Saturday was started as a way for any member to recommend posts to be included. It was never about me choosing them. There is less than a handful of people who have ever sent me recommendations. They know who they are and THANK YOU.

I welcome recommendations from ALL members, as long as they are not politically or religiously controversial. I don't care to go there.
