Good Morning Same store sales numbers for retailers are out. HD does not report however Lows does. There number 10.6% increase. This is a very positive number and in the double digits where it hasn't been in some time. This should reflect in HD numbers and another indicator of what will be a great qtr. We shall see how the market reacts!

As for the www and e-commerce I know we are joking about the sheet of plywood but seriously there is a great opportunity in the items that can be shipped. Drills, Saws, window treatments, wallpaper. Does anyone re-call the business that HD bought over a year ago? And how about the Professional who wants to save time by placing an order from on-line. Like that lumber list for framing a new custom home. Instead of traveling around and dropping off material lists and waiting for calls for a price one can be given and received online. Thus saving him time, oh and money. As we know there time is money, here's a great opportunity!

You can now get a account opened on-line. Take a look at there new site where you can download a application and apply on-line. It's beginning as they have said when they are ready they will announce. Hold on the ride hasn't begun yet.

Aloha
David
