almagest Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It's been quiet for a bit. I don't think anything is happening tonight. These things seem to happen quick once there's movement and we're delayed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t really need to say that, so for now I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt. But I’m definitely getting more skeptical by the minute.
