I can manage, of course!  However, I've noticed that they may have made a
substitution in comparison to last year...see

Ohkee-doughkee.  I see Amazon has green baseplates for $5.24:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000JIVS/qid=1040190853/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-2707489-2016005?v=glance&s=toys&n=507846

...and straights for $6.74:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000JIWQ/qid=1040190933/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/002-2707489-2016005?v=glance&s=toys

...but I'll pick some up unless you stop me before Wednesday night, since it
appears that Amazon inflated prices before their reductions.

Looks like we're in pretty good shape, but more is better :^)  My goal was
150 straights to get a double loop for a layout that's 12x16' or so.  Man, I
gotta post those TD layouts...
