That's our Linda!  I think the work environment at Carlson contributes, 
however, she has a strong personality.  She can be very nice, while she 
can also be "short".  I don't buy a lot from her, but she knows who I 
am and as a result of a few situations like the ones mentioned, I have 
learned to "sweet talk" her and it has worked for me.  Since she is not 
a mean or bad person, I live with her exhibiting her strong personality 
from time to time.  

But there are other dealer vendors to do business with, Throughbred in 
Nashville and Clair in Boston.  I believe Linda still beats their 
prices on most items.
