[Rhodes22-list] amazing develoment re ethanol ?

[Michael D. Weisner]

I'm from NY, I don't wait "in" or "on" lines, anymore.  I used to "get on 
line."  I don't "queue up" either.

My daughter lives in Boston and tells me that New Yorkers say that "They're 
good," when asked if they need sales assistance in a retail store. 
Bostonians say "They're set."
