    -20's... Spurs are skating off the frozen trees.

    How were you affected in 2008? Canadian asking...

    Hi Guys, Don't want to pry here, and more a 'tree-business' question, but how was your business affected in 2008 with the housing meltdown and what not. Our company is small, but looking at maybe expanding with another truck. No debt- we struggle sometimes, but still manage to feed a couple...
