DIY Saltpeter (was: Other collecting activities?)

Quothe John Lawson, from writings of Sat, Apr 17, 2004 at 12:09:10AM -0400: ROFL! Those people are far less patriotic than my toenail clipings. True. ...and with their current crackdown on porn, I'm just waiting for the humor-impaired DOJ to contact me about my hosting a copy of the EMUSIC-L Digest from 1989, containing information about the humorous Project SynthSex, on my web site. http://www.rddavis.org/rdd/issue3-synthsex.txt What farm wouldn't appreciate that? I have to say that, even after speding a year and a half taking care of a horse farm for someone, and mucking stalls in freezing and humid 100 degree days, surrounded by biting flies at times, that such tasks were more pleasant work than working in the typical corporate office environment. I miss it. Fresh outdoor air, surrounded by critters that are much easier to get along with, and communicate with, and far more intelligent, than the average human cow-orker, no flourescent lighting, having great fun while working---like driving a tractor down the road, in low gear, with a round bale of hay on the spear and making the impatient harried suburbanites driving behind me drive real slowwwwwwwwwwwww. :-) Hey, it's actually still somewhat on-topic; we could use saltpeter to dispose of vintage packaged Micro$oft software. -- Copyright (C) 2003 R.
