My take on it:

Last I heard, Chris Y has continued to pitch it to the council but he has insisted to me on numerous occasions that there would be no association with Tiki Central.

I don't really know what that means, though. Is is going to give back the money that was donated? How does the new plan differ from the old plan? I never really thought there was anything "offical" between the Memorial project and Tiki Central, so I'm just not clear on what's going on. Last I heard though he was going to use the money that had been donated so far, so that doesn't sound too different than the original idea.

Tiki Gardener has disappeared, it seems. I've not seen a post from him in a long time, and apparently he didn't answer any of Chris's emails.

I answered all of Cy's emails. The last raving email about how I didn't deserve to be on the project becuase I wouldn't post for him, and apparently it was a cardinal sin to approve someone who wanted to help out, but who didn't have the minimum $20.00.

That one I just bounced with my mail filter.

I've been dealing with having little sccops of flesh taken out of me for testing to see if all my years in the Florida sun have finally caught up with me. Along with numerous tests to see why I feel a knot in the right side of my throat. So far it's not Thyroiditis. But thats about all I know.

So life has had higher priorities for me. Not knowing whether I'm going to be like the guy in mad max using a friggin vibrator against my throat to communicate with people sorta makes perspectives change.

At some point the small stack of new images in info I've managed to find will work its way onto the memorial.

As to the tiki, damn shame, despite all the doom and gloom, I still think it will get done someday.

Chris seemed to be very soured on it though, and he didn't really have any interest in smoothing things out and moving forward, so I wouldn't expect to hear much about the project from here on out.
