How about that. MVIS trading at nice levels today. Nothing within the company has changed except for the fact they have more money to work with. No where to go but up.

Crazy
So last night i'm waiting on a group of 5 guys in the bar at Mitchell's Slave Market. While taking care of the gentleman throughout the night I notice the topic of their conversation was the PGA Tour. Every time I went by their table I could hear them debating Tiger, Bubba, and Phil. Naturally, when I have a laid back table that likes to talk golf I share my Tiger Woods story with them. So that's what I did. However, this time was different. I didn't get the usual uproar of laughter followed by a series of questions. Instead, while telling my tale, the gentleman were just laughing to themselves and staring at each other across the table in disbelief. Something was up. So I asked them, "You guys from around here?". One of the gentleman replied, "No, we're here on business". And then it clicked...the Buick Open is being held this week at Warwick Hills. So then I asked the big question. Do you guys work for the Buick Open? The gentleman replied...Yes (and I stood there dumbfounded). So I asked if they were at last years event. To which he replied (while laughing), "Yes, we were in charge of handling your apple toss and covered the entire story last year. We had to do countless hours of extra work last year because of you". No way! One year later, the apple guy and his crew of Buick Open officials were reunited. It was a good laugh for everyone.
Martyrdoms of Peter and Paul are Commemorated Today
June 29, 64
The Confession of Peter ("Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God") is commemorated on 18 January, and the Conversion of Paul (on the approach to Damascus) a week later on 25 January. 29 June is the anniversary of a day around 258, under the Valerian persecution, when what were believed to be the remains of the two apostles were both moved temporarily to prevent them from falling into the hands of the persecutors.
The Scriptures do not record the deaths of Peter or Paul, or indeed any of the Apostles except for James the son of Zebedee (Acts 12:2), but they are clearly anticipated, and from an early date it has been said that they were martyred at Rome at the command of the Emperor Nero, and buried there. As a Roman citizen, Paul would probably have been beheaded with a sword. It is said of Peter that he was crucified head downward. The present Church of St Peter in Rome replaces earlier churches built on the same site going back to the time of the Emperor Constantine, in whose reign a church was built there on what was believed to be the burial site of Peter. Excavations under the church suggest that the belief is older than Constantine.
St. Augustine writes:
Both apostles share the same feast day, for these two were one; and even though they suffered on different days, they were as one. Peter went first, and Paul followed. And so we celebrate this day made holy for us by the apostles' blood. Let us embrace what they believed, their life, their labors, their sufferings, their preaching, and their confession of faith.

Memories of Niceville
Niceville, Florida brings back good memories. When I was a high school senior, we played Niceville High School in baseball and won 3 - 2. We had a better bull pen than the Tigers.
Mad Respect Son
Big shout out to everyone from Niceville, FL. Real nice. Just finished polishing up my 22's after going for a run along the bay. About to make the 30 minute commute to San Destin. Back to the grind. Will be flying home on July 9. Brother CJ will be coming down to visit all of next week. Dad, JJ, and Paris: you should all come down.
Bow down to "Money Wednesday." Good work JJ on absolutely cleaning house. Slangin sea bass.
Do work son.
