Just talking with folks, we're hearing the same thing--PPL manages a property that we 
were appointed as the administrator.  They report that, for the first time in 2 1/2 
years, they have to place an ad in the newspaper to find tenants for two units in a 
fourplex.  They have also asked if they can lower the rent.  Sure hope this is a sign. 
 We'll see, though I wouldn't go so far as to start shifting resources to other 
things, as Craig suggests.
