But is a bad retreat really the end of the world?

You know, I've been in the trade a while too and honestly, I doubt the history is that deep (some old-timer probably just said it once and it stuck).

Oh man, my buddy's pile... @walker.rowan, it drew actual bears.

Yeah, those winding checks can really trick you. Beth, you're not wrong about voltage, but sometimes the cap is just quietly dead. That's why my little tester rides shotgun in the bag now.

Remember when you hit your first 100 orders? That felt huge to me. For us it was 500 cakes, the point where I stopped counting every single one. It made me think about all the birthday parties and quiet anniversaries they were for. That number just sticks with you, doesn't it?
