Re: [IGSROBIN] summer is not here yet in San Diego

Your potted plants there sound pretty rowdy-kind of like college sophomores
on Spring Break.  Next thing you know they will be headed off to Tijuana for

I have arranged to e-mail you several liters of sunshine, and a cubic yard
or two of dry, clear air.  Hope that helps:)
