Held out on getting the rental invoices ready so I could catch

Held out on getting the rental invoices ready so I could catch a few stragglers from last month. Glad I did. Two instruments came back and three people paid. There's a real long day ahead because these all have to be posted (mailed) like on the 1st.

Feast or famine. Now I've got classical guitars up the wazoo. One of the book orders came in today (finally). I've still got eleven vendors in transit. Luckily my strategy over time doesn't require them to be timely.

Now even the old-timers who were skeptical at my presence are starting to render compliments. I've turned this thing into a pretty cool little music shoppe. I've got stuff for the niños to play with, band instruments for their older brothers and sisters, and serious stuff for the adults. More to come.

"...'fire' does not matter, 'earth' and 'air' and 'water' do not
matter. 'I' do not matter. No word matters. But man forgets reality
and remembers words. The more words he remembers, the cleverer do his
fellows esteem him. He looks upon the great transformations of the
world, but he does not see them as they were seen when man looked upon
reality for the first time. Their names come to his lips and he smiles
as he tastes them, thinking he knows them in the naming."
