Hello Jim,
I didn't know you were having those kinds of problems there. When I was
in San Diego till mid 90's, we didn't have a Fry's there yet, so I loved to
stop
into one every time I went on a training assignment up to the LA and Bay
areas. With all the stuff they had there, I was like a kid in a candy store.
Best Regards
