Duh!!  That was too easy, Charlie.  It is labeled as "Can be a product of
Mexico, Honduras, or Guatemala."  Now that I know it jumped at least  one
border it will not taste quite as good, but I will block the thought and
finish it anyway.  It looks like quite a bit of shipping $$$ in that 99
cents per pound.

Thanks for the info.
