I looked at the "sale" ads in our local sprmkt flyers. Yep. Plain
ol' cube steaks are still going fer $8.99lb. This in a state that
prides itself on its thriving beef industry, of which it is our
primary industry (even bigger than cannabis). And guess what!? CO
has recently suffered zero hurricanes!!

That 4.2 lb organic chicken, which I payed $17USD fer, suddenly
seems like not such a bad deal.
