[at-l] Thoughts on freezing supplies?

[lwbooher@halifax.com (Leslie Booher)]

(A) Costcos are popping up all around here these days.  There's a new one in
Durham, for instance.  Ashville may have one any day, now.  It's a mistake
to think that anyone who doesn't live in the major cities is relegated to
rubedom.  Besides, Sly may sell them at Sears.  Who knows?

(2) We don't have a TV and haven't had one in 20 years now, so I don't see
the ads.  Brand names?  What do I look for when I go to the fabulous new
Costco in Durham?
