Grim Cotton Mather, always seeing Seriously. When the aliens move up to centerpiece position, you get the idea that their work here is done. At least in some budget meetings.

It's also a month too late for this nonsense:
"Do you see what I see
"Way up in the sky, little lamb?
"Do you see what I see?
"A star! a star!
"Dancing in the night,
"With a tail as big as a kite!"
If that were the case, the aliens' work would have been done several days earlier -- the first time they were the centerpiece.
We've had them on 1A five days out of six. So far.
I haven't seen 'em for a couple of days now. Have they gone home, or are they just trying to lull us into a false sense of security.
I appreciate Wolf's contribution, partly because it keeps me from wandering around the house singing "Woke up this morning, was feeling quite weird" to the eternal annoyance of the kitties. And it's never too late for Christmas to come early!
