I can get salt somewhere else. There are different companies. I have it placed and I can get it. So I'm not really concerned about their shortfall. It will be the same price as what we are paying through the COG bid.

We've got about 200 tons on hand. It's coming but they said there might be some shortages due to the barges. Most of them like Louisiana and everything else down there. They're using them down there.

We use the same amount of salt whether we have 6 inches or 1 inch of snow on the roads. We go from season to season. Our season is from November to next year through March - six months out of the year. You have to allow for material for the following year through 2006.

First-rate people hire first-rate people; second-rate people hire third-rate people.

Anyone who thinks that people can be fooled or pushed around has an inaccurate and pretty low estimate of people - and he won't do very well in advertising.

We often think of the warp as being static, but this simulation shows that it is very dynamic.
