I think it's just that time of year. Early winter, and early summer. People seem to ditch at those times.

Lance you scared the ____ out of me with this title. I'm so relieved to hear it's just you asking why!!

If there's one thing I've noticed over the years though, is that people come and go in bursts. Probably as speculated the economic climate is a big driver currently, but it could also be coincidence.

Sorry Tony. Didn't mean to scare the skimmate out of you. (I couldn't leave you big fella) Without Canreef I'd just be sitting in front of the TV petting the wife's beagle.............. *shudder*..........

Those aren't impulse buys Mike. That's serious purchasing!
And that's enough out of you. You just get back to your mountain.
