Sometimes that's where it's at.

They sell some things frozen here too, which would probably be an
improvement.

I didn't care at the time.  It did produce fruit once, but it wasn't
supposed to.

Me neither.

You really wouldn't know New England regional stuff then.  
 
-> -> Do I hear dinosaur foot steps?
-> 
->  RH> Pretty much.  Dumb and slow.
-> 
-> A lot of corporations are like that.  Mostly because they're top heavy

A few aren't, but they're the rare exceptions.

-> 
->  RH> The Northeast and parts of the West Coast, you mean?
-> 
-> Thinking more of the West Coast.
-> 
Parts of California especially.  Then there's the Burning Man festival,
where normal sticks out like a sore thumb but normally weird fits right in.
