Rigged up some lights today. Exactly what was needed. Prepared another round of orders. Sales are still anemic. But I kinda' started getting into the natural rhythm of the job. Lots of people are now walking in and having a look. That's what I wanted. Several have commented that my later hours (until 7) have brought them in for the first time. So far my business plan is working. Now I just have to sell them stuff.

I'm woefully out of touch with world affairs at the moment. If anything important has happened in the war in the last week I don't know about it. Perhaps ignorance is bliss.
