Re: internet


Dear Marv,

I regret my brutally frank response to the list in this most glorious 
time for the pumpkin grower. I was forced to work Saturday and was on my 
twentieth cup of coffee with an average of 5 hours a sleep a night with 
getting up to pollinate and weed etc. before work. It hit a cord and I 
just let it resonate without thinking. One last thought before dropping 
the subject though. Please think of this Marv. When you drop your 
children off at the public library they have complete access to the 
internet in an unsupervised setting. It just doesn't make sense to me. I 
love the Encarta Encyclopedia CD. There is so much just in that disc a 
young child could work with it for years and not even need the internet. 
This is behind us. We are pumpkinheads and we have work to do. Let's get 
to know each other. How is that patch of yours lookin?

ZOO
