Had the proverbial feast yesterday of course. It was wonderful.

Finished the light. Now to put the walls back. Sprinklers made it through the power test.

Hit me with your best shot... the best that Al and his Quedas can come up with after a year of planning is to blow up an Israeli tourist hotel in Kenya? And fire a stinger at an airplane? Ooh. You've got me shakin' in my boots dudes. Then again, why oh why are all these Israelis in Kenya anyways?

Meanwhile behind the scenes congress cleared all the remaining beauracratic challenges to creating a national police force under the president's control. The legal elements have been in place since Roosevelt. Everything's now in place. Still curious why the FBI and CIA weren't included explicitly. Oh, wait - they have to answer to congress. Now I get it... the president gets his national army and congress gets theirs. This is starting to look like a recent Star Wars episode.

Strange start to the Xmas season. I'll have twenty people in the store, sell maybe a pack of guitar strings and they all slowly saunter away and it's quiet again. Oh well, the real shoppers are at the malls today. They'll wander down here during the Xmas luncheons next couple of weeks.
