They already took the Tesla out, unfortunately. And I'm at the point where I don't even know how to spend all the points.

You could gift some points to some well deserving InterSystems interns ... or get socks for everyone on your Christmas list this year ;)

I was away for a week in Dundee with the Greater Manchester Army Cadet Force.  Along with my son and 20+ cadets from the unit I help to run, as ell as 400+ cadets from the city of Manchester. 

I even managed to get to shoot which is a rare occasion for one of the instructors as we prioritise the cadets first to make sure they all get a chance.
