Hi,

Hey!  Hey! Hey!  Who's miserable?

As the glaciers receded, along their march northward, they left the best soil 
in upper north
America.  We can grow anything with it!

Now, North Carolina's red clay soil, that is miserable.  Just standing next 
to a dirt road you
will accumulate stains in your clothes that are never coming out. (smile)

My sister lived in NC for a while, and I have never seen soil like it, or so 
much of it.

I like my brand of miserable.  (smile)

Later,
Tom
