Weirdest thing is that since FF Allen's passing, the weather out here which is usually sunny and in the 70's has been overcast, some rain and cold. It is almost the same mood that most of us here have since this happened. May God have mercy on FF Allen's soul and May he rest in eternal peace. Job well done.
