No TA + 717's = 255 Alligators and 345 Scorpions...600 life threatening animals
....TA + 717's = 325 Alligators and 125 Scorpions...450 life threatening animals

Sounds OK until you realize that scorpions die off in no time, but alligators live longer than humans. Then you realize you just let 70 more freakin alligators live in your house because you were so overjoyed at getting rid of 150 scorpions. Good grief.

Oh well, back to watching Swamp People.

Carl, your analogy cracks me up. Better than my chess analogy: trading a few pawns for a knight/rook. Its hard for people to visualize, or put a price on scope, but that's why the company is so giddy about this trade. Wait, why are we even trading pieces these days? Shouldnt we be recapturing or stopping scope erosion?
