You never know what can happen in those conversations, seriously, just talk with them and explore because the business in hand has proven you are REAL business so your in best position to fish for what could be.

You don't want to judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree.  

Not typically at least, and for those few that do, they set the deal up under the auspices that you fail, while they are made whole.You are in a very big pond, with very big fish, trying to get a piece of a finite amount of food.

Just don't eat any fish you catch that are near the refinery.

I have my Branch 1 and Branch 2 licenses with the Structural Pest Control Board and a Ca Fish and Wildlife Trapping License.

You can only learn so much until you jump in the water and start swimming with the big fish.

It's like going to a fish market looking for a great ribeye.  

At Leen’s Lodge in Grand Lake Stream, Maine, a group of chief economists, money managers, financial advisors and officials from a Fed regional bank got together for a fishing retreat disguised as an economic retreat.

Every time I read a question like this, my first thought is that one day someone is going to post: "I'm going to a wedding this weekend and need to choose between the chicken and the fish for my entree.

I've put in offers over here in California, but have no luck competing against bigger fish with $100k's of cash to offer.
