Gary,

Not song and dance, more like I walk the walk. Every single tax, salary, 
price, etc,etc,(lot of comas) have raised throughout the years. I myself am 
not against a modest increase(lets say $2 tops). All of which Im sure will 
only get passed onto the consumer. Anywho that and a few other issues in 
which I swing towards moderate instead of lefto/stauncho.

Thats my belief, double stamped it no erasies:)

Matt
