Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 23:04:14 +1000 From: Luke Speer <lukasz@midcoast.com.au> Subject: Re[CH] Regarding the sanity of Michael Bailes My wife took the kids to The Royal Easter Show in Sydney and I happened to be answering a Email from Mad King Michael of The Fragrant Garden in Erina while she was away. Michael suggested I get someone to call in as he had some Chiles plants to give me. I managed to convince the family to detour to the Fragrant Garden on their way home.. I don't know how Michael is going to explain the missing 11 plants to his wife Jan ?? Temporary Insanity is always considered a good defense.. I am now the proud father of 3 Red and 2 Yellow Scotch Bonnet plants [several in fruit], 1 Pasilla [has flowers] 2 Brown Aji, 1 Yellow Aji,1 Rojo Aji all with flowers and some with small fruit,and one other Chile plant whose tag has fallen off [possibly another Yellow Scotch Bonnet by the flowers].. Many thanks to you Michael, ["Who do you want killed"].. consider it done.. I have already planted out the Pasilla and 1 Red Bonnet. I spent this morning prerparing a new garden bed for the rest of the plants, My family are now convinced that all of us Chile-Heads are "Loco", Michael just kept loading them up. Any more and I would have been forced to visit the bank manager about a second mortgage to buy that vacant block next door..<g> So it looks like I had better get out the Cerviche recipes, sharpen the fish hooks and find the Bob Marley albums.. Luke in Oz What Luke doesent tell you is that he is one of the most generous, helpful and loyal person I know. I am sure that the plants he now has will grow much better at his loved garden and the seeds will be swapped all around OZ. Increasing our OZCHILLLI Biodivesity Meanwhile i will still be filling in my first GST form; when I should be saving seed; and growing p-lants in my garden. By the way it is Mad King Michael The Wise and the person to kill is any senior GST tax official:) Michael Bailes, The Fragrant Garden, Portsmouth Road, Erina. N.S.W. 2250 Australia.
