That figures.  Life is contrary that way.  Everything I say is proven wrong.
Well, the stock market is down, the international market situation will continue
to worsen and my husband is never going to get a job again after the latest
dot-com bomb.  Bruno duh Barbarian will win next Crown for Cupcake Gaolbait, and
Lord Stickjock Rhinohide will get his Laurel for creative excuse-making.  <GGG>

Looks like somebody has had the bright idea of growing variety greens locally
instead of schlepping them up from Spain, si?  Well, enjoy.  It was suggested to
me one time by a nice young Londoner who was enjoying our local cuisine, that I
could make a million pounds if I opened up a California-Mexican restaurant in
London.  At the time, the greens were not, shall we say, appropriately
California-like, and avocadoes/alligator pears were two pounds EACH.  Ouch.
