see if their prices increase without the WWBW competition. George>>

Speaking of prices increasing, I was dismayed Monday when I saw that the US
dollar is at a 20 month low against the Euro. The dollar has lost $.10
against
the Euro in two months. This of course means that products that come from
Europe will possibly again see a price increase.

This is, of course, not all bad news, as US products will be cheaper for
Europeans. Thus it stimulates the US economy (assuming we MAKE anything in
this country anymore!)

However, it is bad news for those of us in the US who buy products made in
European countries.

You should see the size of my bill from Zinner this month! OUCH!
