Randy you had recently told me about the price difference in vet care
where you are, and I am so, so glad that you went into detail and
told the FML and your supporters this information.  To say that this
information is eye opening is an understatement.  The understatement
of the year.  It's miraculous that you have done what you did for so
many years.
