Nah, they all read Usenet faithfully and were expecting him.

Au contraire, when the time-share street vendors STOPPED
trying to sell me time-share ... oh about 10 years ago, I know
my "home away from home" status has arrived. Now they only
greet me as a long-time resident (which I am not).

I got an e-mail today with a link to pictures from Coz and another link to a
site that lists attractions and their status. It is chilling. The Presidente
does not expect to be open until March. At least on the South end of the
west side, things are looking very grim.
