Re: [SG] spandix? ordure?/ Bill

Hello Bill,
        Thanks for catching the spelling error. That was a bit of a "stretch".
Nothing worse than spandex on someone my age and sex. The odoure was from
the spell checker and my not paying close attention. Odor was indeed what I
was trying to say.
        You have to get close on the Jack in the Pulpit bunch to notice they did
not bathe..... smell a bit like stagnate pond water.
