Howdy,

I don't wish to detract from the masculine seriousness of the thread, so about that wall. When I saw the batter, my initial thought was a retaining wall, but then I realized the wall is rather a "fence". Hopefully that isn't a derogatory or insulting reference. Anyhow, I'm guessing that it is battered on both sides.
How many wythes? and /or what are the sectional profile dimesnsions?
I didn't notice clinkers being used, although, from what I understand, they are primarily used for aesthetic dressing up purposes.
I was this>< close to using "coping". I think of coping, whether pre cast or natural stone, as laying "flat". Is the vertical orientation a family method or more of a typical approach?
The polychrome blending of green, grays and tans is nice.

Your wall brought me back to Chaco...

Another tragic case of artistic sacrifice.

Yeah, that sounds pretty professional. But mostly what was taken away from your last message is that your pony is a movie star.

Hey mick. Maybe you should check out "Any Human Heart" from Masterpiece Theater? Really enjoyed that one, and think you would too. It's really long and episodic, but it's chopped up so if you don't like it you can stop. Also, it was produced/written in the UK and your translation is needed.

In response to your last blog post, age is relative. I remember being younger and thinking "High schoolers are so cool!" and once I was in high school, "College kids are so cool!" Now it's "adults must have it more together than I do."

And face it: you do.

And no matter how old you are, honey, you've always got your whole life ahead of you. So, stretch in the morning, take a hot shower at night, and when you need a daytime nap, take one

Rejoice in your old age and the wisdm of your years: You've earned them.

Thank you very much, it's not very often that I get to ask a question of someone who is directly linked to the issue which I'm trying to understand. My isolation means that I don't get to meet many different kinds of people, so you're the first person in the field of food production that I've been able to speak to directly (well, almost directly). I've never thought about what the inhibition of antibiotics would mean to the well being of the animals. Of course it makes sense now that I think about it, how would humans fare if antibiotics use was banned?

From what I've heard and read and worked out up until this point, it seems to me that even if all of the other benefits of organic food, such as better taste, more nutrients, ect. actually were true, it would still be a terrible idea to switch to producing food using organic methods just because of decreased crop yields.
