Observant Johny. A lot of truth to it. Apparently the numbers are down towards 800 in the domes now. There certainly are people coming back to try the domes. New and old faces on the streets in FF. Very fun to run in to old friends come back. But the numbers sag essentially at the same time. I visted with an old friend in a local store checkout line who had come back to FF from Florida and liked it so much that he sold his house in Florida. In the conversation was also a pleading to come to the domes because it is not working out otherwise with the numbers. There is a certain shift of workers going on with people generally coming and going on the 'course'on top of some number of FF people who may go. It is a sorry deal the earnestness spent on the TMorg and MMY and yet no language there working towards a reconcilliation or any contrition for anything gone by with MMY or the TMorg. Seems now more like a spent tropical depression heading off with little effect on much of anyone except some few either who may be in the way or are interested anyway who follow the rantings of such a storm as it might move along off shore. You never really know where they might veer... avert the danger before it..?
