I have some ocean front property for sale here in Kentucky.Anyone interested ?Oh the one problem with it.Everytime I drill for water,I hit oil.Dang it ![:o)] No I do hope that is true.You know with all the companies going overseas,there's plenty of cheap commecial sites here in the U.S. . Kinda odd how things work.Overseas firms build plants here in the U.S. and say they are making record profits by doing so.U.S. companies build plants overseas and say thats the only way they make a profit.Wow the worlds a screwed up place.[%-)]

shipping is still a bargain when bringing it over by boat.

Absolutley correct, my contracts with three major stem ship lines is less per container this year than last year. Reason being, capacity will exceed volume both this year and next. There are 22 super container ships coming on line that have 8,000 to 10,000 twenty foot equivilents capacity, replacing ships that were 6,000 to 8,000 twenty foot equivilents. Also peak season surcharges were negotiated lower or with some steam ship lines eliminated, its a buyers market for container space.

But at least all will now know better than to trust his pronouncements in the future, and to take what's displayed as "news" on that MTJ forum with a large grain of salt, so all's well that ends well.

Mr. Miller:
I thought it was rather humorous. Don't you have a sense of humor?[:0]
