Solar botics
August 2, 2013
Winter is not quite here yet. But close. It’s the second day of the last day of summer in 2013 today, according to the calendar at least. So lets prepare to that early by making sure all the new products are looked at. Now, how that makes sense? I am not sure. This was just to get your attention.

Oh, and one more thing, fellow civilians, or non-fellow civilians from other places. On Monday August 5th we are celebrating something plainly called Civic Holiday. Apparently all the other holidays are therefore deemed non-civic, except for this one. For that reason Solarbotics will be closed, and all the emails, phone messages and orders will receive all the due attention they need the next day.
