$32.50

Do you realize it costs $32.50 for a gallon of Benjamin Moore acrylic primer. Primer! Not even the real stuff!

For someone in as financially compromised a state as me, that seems like quite a lot.

The obvious joke goes something like:

--How financially compromised a state are you in?
--Arkansas.

One could follow with the connected notion that $32.50 for primer (primer!) represents The Audacity of Hope.

Me? I prefer to think of it as Manifest Destiny.

Or the Louisiana Purchase.

Or Pickett's Charge.
