They are supposed to be closed to update their computer systems. Maybe it took a few days longer.

They always asked me if I wanted to register for the discount and I said no because I wanted to help the profit margins higher and keep them in business (I do the same at Great Harvest). It didn’t work…

Anyway, here’s the link:

Well, sometimes I miss some of those main page stories. That’s a bummer. Their website just says that they are doing computer maintenance.
