so a few months ago there was very little activity in terms of new users signing up for MRF. After the conversion from Phorum to MyBB, I noticed every day a few new users. The latest one is mentioned on the main page.
How come? why are people coming here now? are these old users creating new accounts?

The union at Sleep Tite Sleepwear is negotiating for a seven and a half cents an hour raise in The Pajama Game 1955 (70 years ago)
Seven-And-A-Half Cents Lyrics
I figured it out
I figured it out
With a pencil and a pad I figured it out!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!
I figured it out
He figured it out!
I figured it out
He figured it out!
With a pencil and a pad I figured it out!
Only five years from today!
Only five years from today!
I can see it all before me!
Only five years from today!
Five years! Let's see..thats 260 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at time
and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly.. $852.74!
That's enough for me to get
An automatic washing machine,
A years supply of gasoline,
Carpeting for the living room,
A vacuum instead of a blasted broom,
Not to mention a forty inch television set!
(Chorus)
So! Although!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!
Only ten years from today,
Only ten years from today,
I can see it, clear as daylight,
Only ten years from today!
Ten years! Let's see..thats 520 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at time
and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly.. $1705.48!
That's enough for me to buy
A trip to France across the seas,
A motorboat and water skis,
Maybe even a foreign car,
A charge account at the corner bar,
Not to mention a scrabble board with letters made of gold!
Only twenty years from today
Twenty years! Let's see..thats 1040 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at
time and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly.. $3411.96!
Wow!
That's enough for me to be
A sultan in a taj mahal
In every room a different doll!
I'll have myself a buying spree,
I'll buy a pajama factory,
Then I could end up having old man Hasler work for me!
(Chorus)
So! Although!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!

It was noticeable, a little noisy, but it only lasted a fraction of a second.
Off to check the USGS, if it's still a thing.
3.0
3mi WNW of Dublin CA.
I wonder what it was like there.
