Just talked to my boss. He assures me that talking to sailors is not research, so he won't pay me for it. He bets they would, though.

My signs came out pretty well. I need new brushes. Mine are just no good for lettering. One sign has little flowers along the edge, the other has a lobster, some fish, shells and little dots. I painted our address on the sign so hopefully nobody will take them, but people around here are constantly looking to own some of that folk like they can't find under the seats of their SUVs.

Somebody is working hard to regain his spot on the crush list....
