Sheep!

[mattbell]

The sheep for the giant Settlers of Catan game arrived today.  (Instead of resource cards, we have actual resources.  :-)  My coworkers are always marveling at all the strange stuff I get in the mail.

So I got 24 sheep for only $30.

This is why China will thoroughly kick our ass in the next half-century.  Can Americans produce sheep for $1.20 a pop? I didn't think so.

I wonder what the poor Chinese laborers think of all the weird superfluous stuff they make for us.
