As long as we're making observations tonight I hope you won't mind one more. The term getting down to brass tacks, as one theory goes, was derived from the upholstery business:
When working with the brass-headed tacks, either to attach the upholstery or to remove it, the craftsperson could be said to be getting to the heart of the matter. Therefore, according to this theory, "getting down to brass tacks" first came to acquire its meaning in the upholsterer's shop.

Rest well. Tomorrow is yet another day.
