Apparantly Lee Valley is out and won't get any more until late January. He
was told to find a retail outlet that might have them. He found a store in
Toronto has three but since they are not a distributor, they would not sell

The store would essentially give away their potential profit.
NOT to mention the paperwork with the tax claw-backs etc.
I said NOT to mention it!!

I can't blame the retailers.
Lee Valley has always been more than fair and things are running
smoothly these days even though Leonard Lee has started an already
successful new venture--- wouldn't you know it... more tools.. insanely
expensive tools... http://www.canica.com/

Rob----who is getting VERY strange looks from his wife as he just
(before breakfast) cranked the Flinstones tune (B-52 version). Be
careful with that 'random play' button in iTunes...
