It's OK; I've had trouble with Fido being a bit erratic and now that
we're on the road, I won't get everything answered the same day it comes
in. Got this on Friday, typing now on Sunday.

Seems like our prices have stayed fairly reasonable. E-mailing with my
sister who lives a couple of counties north of NYC a couple of months
ago, she said eggs were $9.00/dozen. I don't think ours got to more than
half that but still, local eateries were putting a per egg surcharge on
orders.

DD> Errrrrrmmmmm ... Baconater is a Wendy's trademark.
Whatever the name was, he had it and I had the tomatoes. He did so again
on Friday, as we stopped at BK again, heading out of town.

That doesn't sound good; did you just pass out?
