The FFR sign was off Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday night. Bizarrely, it was on during the day yesterday (Tuesday). Regarding an earlier blackout, ADM had emailed me to say that "It was accidentally turned off for a few days....It was turned back on as soon as management was made aware." So - what's going on exactly? Does management need a nudge every time we see the sign is off? I can't help but wonder if the aim is to acclimatize us all to the notion that the sign is unreliable. Maybe they're just seeing if repeatedly turning it off provokes less and less of a reaction from the public and the media. Thoughts anyone?

It was on today and yesterday during daylight hours. Probably because of the heavy cloud cover, it was darker than usual. But I have noticed that a few of the letters have burnt-out segments. Kinda looks ugly like this. Think they'll replace the burnt neons? I think not, sadly.
