Sam's Club limiting sales of rice
<pre class="code">http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idUSWEN514820080423</pre>
<blockquote>NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc's Sam's Club warehouse division said on Wednesday that it is limiting sales of Jasmine, Basmati and long grain white rices "due to recent supply and demand trends."
The news comes a day after Costco Wholesale Corp, the largest U.S. warehouse club operator, said it had seen increased demand for items like rice and flour as customers, worried about global food shortages, stock up.
Sam's Club said it is limiting sales of the rices to four bags per customer per visit, and it is working with its suppliers to ensure the products remain in stock.

Back when I became a Methodist, I was told that they frowned on gambling, but apparently only the organized kind, because so many of them were farmers.

I saw a sign painter today on Beverly Blvd., painting a sign that said "RECESSION SALE". Will try and remember to snap a pic of it tomorrow. LOL ! (was a furniture store... in a VERY trendy area)
