Re: Taking it to the store

Luke,

	Just that round these parts the pipe that's used to get the sunlight to
us breaks sometimes, so we don't get the chance to see all the goodies
that y'all city slickers do! :0)
	Then too, I'm still readin the comic books from when I was a kid every
now and then so's I can get lernt real good bout the stuf like 'sea
monkeys'. Sho nuff. ";)

	I am curious about these dudes, but not $10 curious just yet!

Later,
Herb
