So, another year tourism is fractionally down from the previous, but acceptable. Certainly the "Big Boycott" didn't happen! That was BS from the start.

We all have MOM to thank, as well as Mr. Anthony Brown for the sinking economy that prevents many families from getting out to O.C. for a holiday trip. November is coming, though, thank God.

Some of those teenagers eat a lot and have to flush the toilet several times to get the deposit down. This is why they got such big numbers!
