Whoa Gordon,
Kind of going in off the deep end there buddy. That Boeing job
getting you a little stressed? Having a little of that western Washington
seasonal affective disorder? Don't fret, spring training starts in Arizona
and Florida in another couple of weeks. Fishing will pick up as the water
starts to warm. We'll start to dry out a little in April so we can get the
rototillers out and work our plots. And giant pumpkins will again be
growing and we can feed them to the worlds starving masses. After the
wiegh-offs of course. Boy things can get rough on this list this time of
year. By the way, if anyone can find a way to market slugs in Asia I'm sure
that the Northwest growers can supply them with as many as they want. I
would love to be able to turn the wretched beasts from pest into livestock.
We can grow them almost big enough to saddle. More than one has taken me
for a ride when I've stepped on them! They made a sworn enemy out of me
when they ate the first AG I ever had set in my first year growing. One day
it was the size of a lemon and the next day it was gone. Spring will be
here soon or so the Eastern garden pests have predicted. Hang in there.
