We were too late to go berry picking when we went to the farm yesterday to pick
up our
community-supported agriculture share, so we went back this morning. This
included our fourth quart of strawberries in three weeks. It's just the two of
us, so getting that much fruit as a regular thing might just make everything too
regular around here, if you catch my drift. But so far we're keeping up. I
finally got to say hi to the sheep too. There are two of them that aren't very
interested in people, but there's another who's pretty social, and that one came
over for a chat and a scratch on the head, which was pretty neat (everyone's
tangled, matted coats notwithstanding).

A reasonable conclusion is the continued use of exclusives is based on if Epic is doing well, and if not, they would cut back. I think the data speaks for itself.
