"By 'they' you mean the black hats?"
"Exactly. I'm afraid the House on the Rock is now out of bounds. It's a little difficult, but we'll cope. Now it's just stamping our feet and flag-waving,best replica rolex watches, caracole and saunter until the action starts-a little later than any of us expected. I think they'll hold off until spring.
