I decided to stay up late last night - to watch an On Demand (Comcast) movie, an old one - "Wall Street". I was only going to watch a portion of it, but I got so intrigued seeing Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen in their younger years that I watched it all the way through. That threw me off a little bit on my awakening time, so today has been somewhat of a light weight day. I really did enjoy seeing the movie again. It proved to be relevant as well. The DOW dropped almost two hundred and fifty points today. Spooky!!!

Comp USA is closing their Sacramento stores and they have started to discount inventory. I thought I might find something of interest when I went over to the Arden store tonight, but no such luck. The discounts are only in the ten to thirty per cent range (actually most products are ten to fifteen per cent off) and that applies to mainly "display" and opened package items that don't really look so great. There is still a way to go before the prices get to the "bargain" stage. In Sacramento, bargains don't last very long. Consumer Education is alive and well in this city.

Kenneth called to update with me about the master bedroom shutters. We need to do some additional measurements this Sunday (when he returns to take on the hot attic) before ordering them. I imagine they will be installed in about a month, or so. It takes three or four weeks after ordering, before they come in. That should be fine.
