Re: Mosaic Viruses
The cure all for all of these problems is FIRE!! Burn F-----g everything
right in the patch. I don't care what problem your having FIRE will kill
everything!! Nothing will winter over nothing will spread etc. We have to
get back to basics. I know some scientist will say there is a better way. We
are growing pumpkins!! That's it!! We must carry on!! There is to much
engineering going on. Just grow the Dam pumpkins. I just had to say that!!
Good Luck!!
