I don't spend much on anything anyway. I have to rent a van from Penske during that time* but that's about it, I can do the business end early. Other than that, I'm on it.




*Moving again! I Got into this place two weeks ago as an interim rental while I was on a waiting list. Five days after getting my stuff over here I get the call for the place I really want. Nice landlady who wrote my lease as month to month so I can do this. We decided we should go have lunch once I get moved. She's really cool.

Let them give the Trump Administration grief for all of the money they're going to lose because of Trump's policies.

What does pulling forward or pushing back purchases you will inevitably make anyway by 7 days accomplish?

Businesses work in months and quarters. You’d need to do more than move the dates you are spending on. Better to buy those things elsewhere and deny the sale altogether.
