Fascinating to me Jim.
I know about your over 25 years of wasted life working in bondage to
corporate liars. For me, it was 30 something years. I'm still trying
to wash the stink away.

I am very happy for you that you've been able to touch your dream, and
that you are in good enough health to enjoy it. I don't know if I
would want to trade places with you, as I know a lot of what comes
from the earth is by the Grace of God who brings the rains and the
sunshine. Farming to me, unless you do it for subsistence, is risky
business. But I am happy that you are happy, and freed from the
bondage of your servitude to the great Satanic Greed Machine, a.k.a.
"Corporate America."

Be grateful you're not connected with thieves and murderers, the likes
of which thrive under the corrupt government of these United States.
