[AT] OT- Grits in Sweden

[charlie hill]

Cecil when you say here I guess you mean in New York.  You sure don't mean 
in eastern North Carolina!  With all the retirees we have here we get our 
share of bagel shops and things that were totally foreign to us 20 years ago 
but to my knowledge there is little or no pickled herring to be found in 
these parts.  With any luck it will stay that way!  I don't want the prices 
to go up for yous guys.  LOL
