[AT] Fuel prices/Sask.

[CEE VILL]

Thanks Ralph.  You and the venison loin I have cooking both make me feel a lot better.  I hope you understand that your weather, your gas price, and twenty three hundred and some miles will prevent me from dropping in unexpectedly at your place for Christmas dinner. Otherwise, we could sit and talk old tractors and flat head Fords.
