No kidding. But that's a direct blow to the chemical industry, and we
can't have that now, can we [rolls eyes]

I had a woman at the McLaughlin Gardens up in Paris, Maine tell me
about the wonders of Merit and using it for dealing with the lily
beetles. People have no clue.

Do you want to hear something sad? Over thirty years ago I worked for
a Bayer subsidiary, Cutter/Haver-Lockhart, animal health division, as
a quality control inspector.

I still remember and quote often, old Bob, the head of R&D, jokingly
telling the drones...."Dammit boys and girls, I want that data to
match these results." Was it an effing joke?

The stain and shame remains with me to this day. Every time I see or
hear the name Bayer I feel dirty.

That was the end of the Yellow Brick Road for me. We went back to the
farm, so to speak, and pulled in the edges around us.
