Dear Friends,

Grace and I got down to Key West this week and celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary. We have a tradition of toasting every year but 47 toasts is a bit too many so this year, because 47 is a prime number, we only toasted the prime numbers up to 47 – all 16 of them! It is fun to try to remember significant events from each year.

Joe, Taylor and Darek have the Key West store looking good and we continue to connect with both our local customers and the tourists that visit the Keys. We have an event at the store on October 30th as part of our campaign to support Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Stop by or give us a call for more details: (305) 330-4885

Apple announced their 4th Quarter financial results this week and once again set records for sales and profit. There are some very interesting milestones set with this financial report and I will review them below. Congratulations go out to the entire Apple team for a groundbreaking quarter!

We are adding products each week in our home automation category and I am proud to announce that Nest Thermostats and Nest Protect products are now available in our retail stores for sale and installation. I use Nest in my home and this smart thermostat allows me to control the heating and cooling system remotely via my iPhone and learns our habits so there is very little adjustment needed. We will continue to add more home automation products as they become available, especially those that are compatible with Apple’s HomeKit.

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes exclusive special is from Belkin and features the WeMo Power Switch and Light Switch. We are offering these fantastic products at $10 off and are shipping them for free.
