The news crews were on sight. The PP may be waiting until it is "officially" turned in. Then again the front page of the website has already been updated.

If anyone happens to hear exactly where in Conway, I would be interested. How 'bout anyone returning from Conway. Any witnesses?

By the way, if anyone hasn't heard, there is a party called the rehash bash Sunday at 11:30AM. Its usually in the park it was hidden in, but Conway doesn't have the

facilities so the location is undetermined yet.

I can't wait to hear the pioneer press versions of explanations for all the clues! Be interesting to see how right people were!

I agree, send those people home, so I can stop hearing car horns honking and people shouting "I found it" every 10 minutes!!!!!! I don't know why the cops who are

all standing around out there right now don't send the people home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaron,

You might want to give the Rock 5 bucks, or he will go into cardiac arrest.
