– The numbers are still up at #Brickpile (over 30 today) and are now down at #SwampFox and #Thunder (both well under 20) which were both created to take pressure off the numbers at #Brickpile. As one SwampFox participant put it about a week ago “I guess old guys do get stuck in habits.” (It was NOT me.) Are they right? Are they talking about you? Let’s spread out Columbia.
