3. Aren't there other food products to purchase?

Warning signs to those with those allergies should be posted, and don't people with those allergies know not to eat them?

[Auggie]

6. Anyone -- is it correct that even peanut dust can cause allegeric reactions?

Sounded over-the-top to me too until I thought of this.

5. I hope so,

unless they play the whole song, and not just the chorus.

7. Seems baseball quietly retire that one soon after that 911 thingy for "God Bless America"

I have no doubt Harry Caray is rolling in his grave.
