Jenks over at Gap chiding us for a couple,bob bles, especially on our continu ation lines “Can the one at fault be easily contacted’ Show him the card.” Our apologies—and we’ll try —and the man to blame re ceived the card.

Come next week, we’ll watch more care fully what we’re doing. “Many issues are of differ ent heights I guess one would call it.
