There is certainly no shortage of pumpkin energy in the South, even
though it gets derailed now and then ( i.e. "ZOO DOO Saga.") Mike has a
great thing going here with his new data base, never before seen. I
predict that it will at some near point in the future gain pumpkin
consciousness and begin to program itself , leading us in high gear
towards the first Dual Kilopumpkin. Unbelievable work Mike. How about
taking over the spokesperson job for awhile. I could use the break.
ZOO
