I have only one but I'd like another. - Bill Your request reminds me of the time I walked into Paragon Sporting Goods, one of our quite upscale outdoor type shop. I spotted a barrel full of compression stuff sacks, name brand stuff. No prices. I asked a clerk and he said "Oh the smaller one are a dollar, the bigger one two dollars." I knew they were really supposed to be priced at $15 to $25. Imagine my glee. I didn't want to be greedy and buy the entire barrel, so I picked up just four or five. Needless to say, I have compression bags to last a lifetime. ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
