must be related to the fellow that claims I can stand with one foot in a tub of boiling water and one foot in a tub of -40 degree anti-freeze solution and be comfortable because the average of the temps is 86 degrees.

It is more than likely that the cost I mentioned is only going to apply to me and will be correct in my case only. The difference between me and the economists is I don't try to tell others to use my numbers and then profess my innocence and look surprised when they go 'belly-up'. Remember Ed, I farmed before, through, and after the '80s. I saw too many farmers loose everything because they took the economists too seriously and didn't take time to think for themselves.
