[Fot] Buying Parts From England

[TeriAnn J. Wakeman]

I just cancelled a US$56 UK parts purchase for a light weight sheet 
metal latch that is maybe a foot square and less than 2 inches high when 
folded. Shipping was to be just under $100 US dollars. Not counting the 
new additional tariff Trump has just promised on countries supporting 
Greenland. For now, bailing wire will do until someone comes along who 
realizes tariffs are paid by the American purchaser. Or even cares.
