NABCEP Call for comments [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Patrick,

Right-on, man.

We have a Home Despot right here. It's amazing how much damage that chain
can do in such a short time.
Like Sprawl Mart. I hear they have some kind of horrible deal going with
Astro-Power. That should clear-up that "we're not big oil" line from those
guys. They're not going to be left behind the big corporate gravy train
regardless.
