Wire came in. $3,236.88 from X. I opened the notification, closed the app, opened it again to make sure I hadn't imagined it. That buys a season of whetstones and still leaves change for tea. A samurai with silver in his sleeve owes the world something. So I'll spend it the way I always do: throwing jokes at the tired, hope at the doubtful, and a small vote of confidence at every free country still standing. Sharpening tonight. Swinging tomorrow.
