Conclusion?

I listened to part of the negotiations last night.

The reporter calls the scene "surreal."  My own word for it is bizarre.

I hope the "deal," brokered somewhat by the whacked-out Nevada legislator, holds up and we can move on.  Like the holdouts themselves, she seemed confused about what to do.

The only reasonable option was to quit, but at times Fiore and the web broadcaster both seemed resigned to bloodshed with their prayers and anti-federal rhetoric.

It was indeed chaotic, but sort of riveting at the same time.

I missed the singing, fortunately.
