Alluding to the analogy that I believe Russ Allison made a while back,
...the dog has now run through the flock of seagulls and returned home.  It
is time for the birds to settle back down on the beach and go about their
business, while the tide ebbs and flows peacefully until it is time, once
again, for the dog to be let out to run along the shore.    :)
