Got 16 ounces and thought of sending 4 your way then I thought about sending white powder in the mail and in one of my saner moments said not a good idea these days. The garbage can sounds like a good idea, if you already have an old, used-up one. Even when the bottom rots out, you still got the lid to stop the fire. Funny how things work out. Rome fell in the 4th century AD. Books were used for toilet paper and fires. Knowledge was preserved by arabs and re-discovered by Europeans on the Iberian peninsula in the 14th century. A millennium of western intellectual development lost. Now, from the Amazon, 600 years later, the gift of soil. Slash and burn has incurred a nasty reputation but I'd guess the folks calling the shots like heavy industry. I wonder, how much more will humanity learn, what it used to know? Hope is the learning may have a wide margin of error. Fingers crossed as none of my kids know what a hoe is let alone there are many types. Seems a down turn may wake up the notion of being more self sufficient. Gotta change the fishs water. I have to soon too.
