Sunday was not a great day. My paintball store was broken into and robbed at around 3:50 am. At least 9 other busineses in the area were hit at the same time. ( my thoughts and prayers go out to each one of them). We managed to clean things up , get things boarded up and opened on time at 9:00AM. Throughout the day I just felt kind of nauseated. Got home and around 5:00pm was able to grab a Padilla Miami 8/11 and head to the patio. This cigar saved the day because I was able to relax and take time to reflect and put things into perspective. I have a wonderful wife of 27 years, 2 great boys, a great home and fantastic friends. So when times are tough out there take the time to remember whats Really important and that's your family and friends.And as long as you have that things will be ok. Thanks friends for letting me have a place to vent.

Theives Suck! :-) Sorry you had to deal with that.

Like you said, it's times like those when relaxing with a cigar really helps put things into perspective. :-)

Hope there wasn't too much damage to the store.

Glad the smoke helped better the day! You are correct, family is what really matters, everything else can be replaced! That said, I hope they find the thieves and make them restitue!

Thanks for the concern guys.The store is going to be just fine. The thieves appear to be a professionl group that moves around from town to town and picks random stores and then moves on. Thankfully no one got hurt.Hopefully they can stop these guys before someone does.
