Well, now you see what I was talking about in my post about the difficulty of writing humor.

I just sprayed the basil again about an hour ago. What I do not know yet is if there will be residual flavor. But soap washes off, so alcohol should, also.

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

So, you added to the ruination of the place by adding
yourself to the
population, as did a few million. Builders and developers
only build
houses if people buy them.

You dislike the Californians. I wonder how the natives feel
about you
and where you came from.

It's called fence building.

There are lots of places in this country that have
conditions that
preclude development.
