Ahhh! I'll bet that's my poblem. I'm expecting them to work right away. Thanks much! Ken -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |

I guess you don't live by the sea. I'm at the NJ shore and most seafood here has always been a more expensive food source and not poor people's food, unless you catch it yourself. Prices for a piece of fish aren't that much different than if you were in OH. In fact, I've seen some places well inland, when traveling, where fish prices were less than they are here at the coast. > collecting them don't make that much money, the price paid at the > supermarket or restaurant reflect the cost of getting it there fast. > Michael The transportation is a component, but it's not the dominant factor in the price. There are lobster boats right here, but the price isn't cheap and poor people aren't eating them. Even typical average American family obviously finds them pricey, because I don't see folks eating them much. I'd eat them a lot if they were cheap. |

People still send oranges and other fruit as gifts at Xmas. It doesn't have anything to do with them being rare or unusual. And certainly oranges were plentiful in the 1960s. |
