Lee....up this way in MA., a heavily regulated insurance industry has guaranteed some of the highest insurance costs in the nation and a scarcity of carriers willing to do business here. Coupled with little or no fraud investigation in the auto and medical arenas.....the simplest of things wind up costing way to much. Don't get me started on taxes, tolls, and fees.
That would explain why, in the most recent census, MA. saw a DECLINE in population. We spend the most and don't get the return.

IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Jack,
If you ever tried buying insurance here in south Florida you will understand what I mean!! Insurance down here is second only to gasoline prices. You can get an attorney cheaper than you can get insurance down here is probally what I should have said.

Mel.....your right! Painesville it was. We used to drive up there on occasion to look for train shops and measure the Lake effect snows when we got tired of watching the Cuyuhoga River burning or Dennis Kucinich mooning the folks on shore from his boat.
Jack;
Lake Erie College for Women is in Painesville, Ohio. I remember hearing it referred to, on several occasions, as Lake College for Eerie Women!!!!

Lee......now look at what you have gone and done. Chief will probably rescind his offer for this "Yank" to come down for a visit, some of his grits, and Pam's red-eyed gravy. I'm not forgetting the biscuits with scrambled eggs either. Back to the drawing board.
Hey Brent, didn't you say you went to school in Erie? Was Lake Erie College for Women still there when you were? It was there when I was back in school at the turn of the 20th century.
I don't see any reason for me to stop in Erie, PA anymore. The best store in town just moved out. I wonder who will be last and will turn out the lights in Erie.

Is this a brick & Mortar shop that I can visit? If so I'll be sure to stop by in October (headed that way for a launch).
