Finally we see someone walking over to us - with dogs in tow, holding a stick and a tennis ball. Turns out he was from Newfoundland and he spent part of the year working up in Fort McMurray Alberta. He didn't know about the debt clock stopping there, he had only wandered over to take the dogs out to play. We had a good chat with him about the tour and told him to check out Taxpayer.com. Then he and the dogs wandered off to an open area of the lot.
Scott then decided to go into the mall, and just then another guy pulls up his car right in front of the clock, got out and started videotaping. Right away he asked Kevin a few questions on camera, which Kevin was happy to answer. Kevin then inquired which media outlet he was from and it turns out he was a retired school teacher with a camera - and someone who really disagrees with the debt. He was even commenting as he filmed that the debt is a terrible thing and that it's important that we do whatever it takes to start the clock running the other way. He told us he really appreciated what we were doing. He just drove a way after taping the short video. Maybe he'll upload it on YouTube?
After two false alarms, we decided not to wait anymore. if the media won't come to us… we finally went over to the main paper's office to find out what was happening. Turns out they had already come by and taken a photo without us even noticing! Very strange indeed. I mean, we were waiting in the vehicle out in the middle of this empty parking lot and we didn't see anyone else come up to us or knock on the windows or anything. Well, at least we solved the mystery of the invisible media reporter.
