Our dearly loved uber capitalist of Eugene are crossing legs, fingers and probably eyes in hopes that the good gawd of greed protects their hopes for huge (YUGE) cash ins over this great scientific moment lol.  I haven't heard this much "I'm going to make so much money" since president hopeful Edwards came to town.  

I got a newsletter from a gov agency that instructed us to be sure and do our grocery shopping and replenish our emergency supplies and avoid going to Eugene a week prior and after the event.  good grief
