Right at the get-go the staff said when they knew more they’d tell us. I see no reason to doubt that statement (why would they sit on the information?). In other words, it seems rather pointless to start these threads. Still, it’s your dime. ---

When I was a lad, there was an old lady in the neighborhood who didn’t like it when we played in the park. One day, she walked outside and put her watering can down by her front steps. When we saw it, one of us said something, and someone else said something else. I’ll never forget that because it was on either a weekday or a weekend. ---
