Gene , I was trying to use humor to make a point.  I'm not a very good 
writer.  By the way, I'm going to ask the guys at the nursery about your idea 
of spraying vegetables with a mixture of alcohol and water.  Thats something 
I haven't tried ( not on plants anyway, when I was much younger I did mix 
bourbon and spring water but I don't remember if that kept flies off 
me).....bobford
