I was speaking for myself. You are a most fortunate father.

I complained at Trader Joe's to the management. The manager said that  
they cannot get the same markup on BP. Apparently we are not the only  
ones who have discovered its superiority. I can get it here but at  
far fewer places than last year.

You may recall that I finally got 1/6th barrels of BP for the  
Heartwood tapper but it took some doing.
