On WMT. Wonder if some of those Sales Tax Free school supply and clothing weekends occuring Aug 2,3,4 had anythign to do with "leser" July same store sales.

July 2002 "only" had 4 weekends in it (8 days).
July 2001 had 4.5 weekends in it or 9 days. 10 days if they don't close the month on June 30 but wait until the following Monday which was July 2nd.

Could account for a bit of the monthly data decline.
