Fly
Cliff Forrest,
Thanks so much for the information. It kinda makes me worry about my level of lunch making skills, as I was eating a lunch I prepared at the time. I was inside the car. I thought the sandwich was peanut butter and jam?
It makes sense because I was working, for the summer, at The Pacific Agri-Food Research Station. Between spraying the fields with manure and the cattle, dung was NOT in short supply.

Thanks again,
-Cliff
