WolfgangVerne Thanks for taking the time to chime in! Another example that illustrates how local markets vary, especially compared to national/international ones, I think - and a reason to provide consideration for both possibilities.
If anyone else replies to me directly I apologize for a late response as I will not be around until tomorrow evening. Thankfully my current gig gives me rare opportunities such as going out into the desert in the middle of the night to trap and tag endangered giant kangaroo rats, and that's precisely what I'm doing tonight. Cheers!
