Very short update

The building facade work seems to be going quite slowly... Construction never meets schedule, but the demo work is typically the fastest portion. You can tear things down much faster than putting them up...

I don't have much Nemo's related news, except that we were over the break even point two weeks in a row. I hope to see that become two months in a row, then two years in a row...

I'll end this very short post with a few photos of our men and women serving our nation. That means they are serving YOU and ME. Give them your support and your prayers...
