Out of the Blue

Good morning, and happy St. Paddy's day! Celebrations in the BlueTower are going to be typically reserved, we're not that big on school-night carousing, and will surely be laying low this evening. It seems a shame not to mark the occasion, however, so maybe I'll drive the snakes out of the BlueTower. Speaking of driving (and carousing), please be careful on the roads, as this is one of those amateur nights that is all the more dangerous, and please don't drink and drive yourself.

I've been running it with bluesnews.com seed all day and 155.56 is the best so far. Early on one got 155.11, and after half a day nothing had beat it. There's this valley at ~153.xx that they all get stuck in. I tried resetting the population a few times and tinkering with the settings, but I didn't think anything would beat it. I reset the population a few minutes ago and it didn't take long for one set a new record of 155.56 by climbing out and getting hung at the top (pic).
