Seahawks, forgive my caution, but I've been here in the 2000's, the 2010's, and now the 2020's.  Despite the fact that I truly do believe there is work being done behind the scenes that is slowly moving this project forward, I am not excited about the "progress" seen this week.  I still see dissention and lack of unity among the FN's, and I believe that will continue to drag at the heels of the RoF for years to come.

I don't consider myself to be a pessimist, but I do think of myself as a realist.
