Do you think they could make 6 trips a year? I mean even without it
they seem to be able to make a profit. I think they could get more
than $12 a pound if the coffee is good. at least $15. That makes the
profit much higher. 400K per trip because the other expenses stay the
same. If they went that way I might buy a few shares in the company.
I'm an environmentalist but I wouldn't mind some good returns on the
investment either. It just depends on if the company can pull this
off.


In that's the case, I have a bridge you might be interested in. Its,
uh, organic, of course.
