we ordered in a cord of firewood - Hoserella, What do they get for a cord of wood up in your neck of the stuff. We paid $140 a cord of seasoned mixed hardwood. It only went up $10 from last last year. Considering the big jump in oil, ten bucks isn't much. Judging by all the trees on that island of yours I bet the cost is a bit less. But then again I'm not sure how to compare with the diff in exchange rates. I remember a trick I learned in my college Economics class that they have a simple exchange rate tool. An easy way to figure out how well your dollar is doing is by using the Big Mac rule. A McDonalds Big Mac costs the company approximately the same no matter where they are located. Therefore you can tell what the currency is worth by knowing how much it costs you in the US and comparing it to how many Drakmas, Rubels, or Pesos you are paying. So I guess what I'm asking you is "How many Big Macs did all that wood cost you? -Woody P.S. One time I asked Croc how much her new camera cost and she told me it cost 15,000 lima beans. <g> BTW, She's overdue for a report.
