"Retailers were VERY worried that they wouldn't have anything to sell on the day after our Thanksgiving (traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year)."
I know exactly what you mean by this, but it's a pretty funny comment in the absolute sense. An American store with "nothing" to sell is a pretty relative concept. I remember once when heavy rains were predicted (my part of Virginia is prone to floods) many folks stocked up at the supermarket and some of my friends told me the store had nothing left. "Nothing" meant they were out of milk and bread. Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 458-8873 FAX: (540) 458-8878 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
