Sold the beat up sousaphone. Fifteen hundred bucks pure profit. Cost me nada just like the trombones. Well ok, it cost 35 bucks for a mouthpiece. Wahoo!

Now I've got a webcam running at the store but can't easily get it to my server without breaching the firewall. Sigh. Not sure I want to do that, but a live webcam from the store is certainly more interesting than the dead webcams I've got running at the house.

Let's see - are these guys POW's or unlawful combatants? Hmmm... trick question. No matter how you look at it the guys are toast. There's nobody but Amnesty International to fight for them and no way they'll ever make contact. No way to take them home and no way they're coming to my backyard. Nobody will ever know what happened to them. Dwell on this a couple of years from now when they mothball Guantanamo again and send the Marines home.
