Thong man hopeful

Last week, Thong man appeared happy with a recent hiatus in 'busts'.

He posited that there may be no more 'puppies' active. He bases this on his observations that school holidays (recently finished) are typically a period of high activity, but so far have been silent. Thong man is realistic enough to avoid jumping to rapid conclusions. But he expresses hope.

I asked him if the hiatus could be explained by his targets suddenly becoming clever and avoiding him. The explanation of them becoming smart, he believes, is unlikely as his estimate of their usual intelligence is quite low. As for moving out, then perhaps that aligns with his goals.

If his position bears out, I asked, would a supply vacuum bring in new dealers from neighbouring areas? Thong man did not answer that. Nobody knows what the future brings, but if Thong man is in it, it will certainly be interesting.
