hmmm...and here I thought I was doing Alvin a good deed after he talked
about Kona coffee at $40 a pound. Let's see...his exact words were

"Went to a local coffee shop on the way home which usually has some
discounts-- called IIRC Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Hawaii-- and asked for some
100%% Coffee. They don't sell that as a drink, but they do sell the coffee
for $40 a pound. It's sold in a tinny winny bag."

Sorry about that Beans. But then, you have to understand that Alvin (and I)
are from a generation where on the Mainland $25,000 got you a nice house, a
first class stamp was $0.05, gas was about $0.30 a gallon, and milk was
about $1.00 a gallon. http://www.1960sflashback.com/1966/Economy.asp And
a new car average price was under $3,000.

[Alvin - I did correctly quote your there? No accusations that you are a
liar? Don't want you going around again falsely telling people
either/both.]
