@TerryPG from Canada
Lets begin the race:
“Welcome everyone to the Race to A Billion Photo views, My name is Mike and I will be your announcer for the race.” I would like to introduce my color commentator Adam, Welcome Adam”
“Thank you Mike, I just wanted to say I am not associated with that Australian bloke Adam, I am much better looking than him”
“Ok, ummm, ok, Thanks for that Adam. I understand that there are a few local guides already who are in The Billion Club”
Adam replied . “Yes there are Mike, you can see the other 7 Local guides who have already entered the Exclusive 1 Billion club here”
“Thanks Adam, the race is about to get started, before it starts let’s have a word with Terry’s trainer Jake, about his preparation for the race. Jake are you there, Jake, Come in Jake.”
“Maybe he’s gone AWOL again,” added Adam
“No I am here guys, Jake here, I was out getting Empanadas , Pizza and Meatballs for everyone, You know Mike gets hungry a lot, and yes Terry is ready for this race."
“Thanks for that info Jake and thanks for the food, The race is about to begin”

@Mikeinthefalls Not sure I have the willpower to ever do an empanada run and actually return with food.
Thank you @Mikeinthefalls your words are encouraging but based on your numbers you may achieve this at level 7 or 8 , thanks again and I hope Jake got the food there on time.
Haha just too funny @TerryPG. Very, very creative and I love the pics. As you know I'm normally much more verbose with my replies, however, after an awful night with a painful tooth, as I write, I'm on my way back from a dental appointment.....oouch! Oh how I hate visiting the dentist !!!
