The small regionals don't attract billionaires, some even unaffiliated from the BMorg over certain billionaires being involved with it.

Ocean currents, elevation and distance from the equator also have a big impact on what the season is going to feel like.

There's no need to change the dates.

My days of contraband in college taught me that the perspective of repeat business kept things quite amicable.
