Thursday again, and my supply seems to be dwindling. Who do I talk to about ordering some more?

Thanks Rick.
Quote of the Day:
God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won’t tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.
Terry Pratchett
