I'm not quite sure where I'll be in a few years, and probably not in the
Great White North, but I hope your workable program comes to fruition and
many more people become aware of the difference between samples offered by
Safeway of Oakland and by those who put a bit more effort into cultivating
tasty produce. In the meantime, let me work on things here so that I can be
of some help to guys down the line.

One of yer fans,
