Alex and all the folks on the list. Canada is a very big country. Even as
great a potter as Tony C has not yet been able to "corner the market". We do
join with Tony in wondering why U.S. potters would want to bring their work
across the border where it immediately faces an approximately 20% instant
currency exchange problem. Our dollar is only worth 82 U.S. cents. On the
other hand be sure you fill up your gas tank before you head North because
our gasoline costs are the equivalent of $3.50 to $4.00 a gallon. We are
interested in hearing how Kristin did at the show though and how her prices
compared to the folks in Ontario.

Not me; what I want to know is how she got across the border in the first
place, having been told she could cross without a broker, and then finding
out she had to have a broker when she actually got to the border.....
