Which proves that he lives in the Midwest....there ain't no such thing as
"rich *black* dirt" in MD......it's all basically red - rich or poor. The
deep, black soils of the Midwest are a thing to treasure. I remember when

load up a bushel basket with that rich black Iowa soil and carry it home in
the trunk of the car - much to my Father's disgust!
