I'll tell you in 6 hours Dave...your patterns usually take that long to hit me. Pretty slow this morning again, but mornings have been slow in the last few days, with small spurts in the evening.

My Apache volume right now looks like it's midnight, when in fact it's mid day.

This is so different than in 2008 and prior years. It seem each year the pattern is more broken with many more lows than what used to be considered "normal". A typical week's sales numbers used to be 25, 20, 18, 19, 18, 17, 22. Now it's more like 18, 4, 17, 15, 8, 6, 15. So much for progress...seems like that's their M.O.
