A little better 'n that ($0.83) and gaining.

I wouldn't be surprised if we hit par with the yankee dollar in the
next 18 months.

The greenback is falling against other currencies right now.

Heck no one talks in US currency anymore. Maybe you guys should adopt the
peso; it's a little more stable.

One way or another we're going to pay and if it's
not through taxes it will be through a peso dollar.
