Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Touché, I didn't use the word *killing* either.  Actually, I would be more 
of a tenement dweller than a slumlord.

Your estimate of the actual inflation rate would *likely* :-) be more 
accurate than mine and I would honestly like to know what you think it is. 
I do very little news but I think they are saying something like 3 or 4%.  I 
would guesstimate it at 3 to 4 times that much.  However, whether I have 
money trading on the Fore or not makes about as much difference to those 
downriver as Johnny not eating his peas has on a child starving in Africa.
