OK. I should reread that book soonest...

It's been a few years since I read Unintended
Consequences, and I'm sure I'll get around to it again
one of these days, but I still have too much stuff to

I also *really* need to get to the seed catalog.
Got an e-mail the other day that the hardcopy was
undeliverable. E-mailed them the new address back,
and got the catalog in a couple of days. That's their
first step down the "dark path."


Abandon Vader Seeds, Inc, sir!


(One of those companies that prides itself on not using
computers, publicizing, "This catalog was typest
entirely without the use of computers.")

Strange how FarmTek and HarborFreight can follow us
around with no input on our part, but other places
can't.

Was that posted here before? Or did I see it
elsewhere?


I got it via email and just had to share it. You may have received it
from one of your joke exchangers, too.
