Finally moved

Big Furniture
I had a local moving company move my large furniture today.
They sent me an army of 4 people to take care of the job.
The owner of the business was a really fat old man who was also the father of the 3 other guys.
He didn't come out of the truck at all.
The others were two teenagers and one guy in his late 20s or late 30s who looked like he was in the military (very lean with a crew cut).

They were really fast with their job and I was pretty frickin impressed.
They managed to carry the massive couches via window of my apartment.
It was definitely worth the $280 I paid!

So now I finally have my heavenly bed at the new place, so no more futon!

Cake Shop
After the move was completed, I visited the cake shop under my apartment to thank them for the free goodies they left me the other day. Two ladies run the business and they sell cookies, cupcakes, and cakes which they decorate to customer specifications. They also sell misc. gifts (I didn't pay attention to them).
I asked them how their business is going, and they said they're being kept really busy, and things are going well. I told them to let me know if I'm too loud, etc.

Weather
It's starting to get warmer here in Ohio. Today I actually felt hot.

Acura ZDX
This new and strange vehicle has finally been announced.
I worked on it since even before it's concept stage, working until midnight in the design studio.
Of course, my job focuses on how to reduce cost so I didn't really work on the styling etc, but I did
try as hard as I can to make sure its panoramic roof doesn't get axed as a part of cost reduction.
That feature is what basically defines this model, and without it this car would be pretty boring.
I don't expect the car to sell tough, given the economy.

Uncharted Waters Online
Elections are coming up for the next Doge.
However, nobody has been nominated and for that reason I'll likely continue as "Acting Doge."
I've been in this position since last July, so I'd like to shed this responsibility soon!
Next month Venice will likely launch an attach on one of the ports controlled by the French (such as Athens), and I don't really wanna do all the preparations for the war.
Providing provisions for everybody else, managing chat channels for enemy location info and to provide supplies to battleships, providing materials to repair ships, coordinating with allies and running strategy meetings... it's pretty tough, and it goes on for three days.
I'll try to have somebody else handle that task.
