No, but I can do this:

HEY YOU! Read peter's post two posts up!

That said, I checked a Target and two Wal-Marts around Columbia. Zero, zero, then five today on my lunch break (two with a band broken and let go for $2 after a chat with customer service--it may have helped that I was buying the other three at full price.) There was something on the terminal screen I saw there that I thought read a cost near $5.00; I don't know how relevant the figure is. The balls are currently residing in the back of my car, shuttling along with me between 1618 and 2815 meetings. (And, occasionally, back to work--nothing like a brightly-colored ball to drum up interest!)
