If you know what you want, have a place to put it.

TD9 is forming off of west Africa.  Much more likely than anything else on the map right now to affect us.

Hmmm -- which makes me think.  Is there a web site that posts or lists "market" prices for lumber?

Sure it is different in every part of the country, but surely some computer geek/god somewhere has done this....
