I'm liking the idea that it was an ambitious municipal project gone sideways. After all, it took two years to make the Grover's Corners, and as documented elsewhere, most of that was spent in actually growing the dome -- this is going to take even longer, and if it's something the town was duped into wanting, we don't have to explain why no one twigged onto it before the takeoff. We just have the mad come in as a contractor, fabricating monthly progress reports for the city council, and no one will question what he's doing.
