Barbara,
It's meant to be an ending that broadens the theme at the end rather than
changing it. So yes it is a commentary on how fickle people can be, both at
the local level and beyond. Whether it suceeds in doing that I don't know.
Thanks for the crit and keep it coming, before or after coffee.
Colin
