You'll love it. Seeing firsthand a large chile field is an experience that will give you pleasant memories for life. You know the cliche meditation class teacher line: "Imagine yourself in a wonderful place..." Did anyone happen to mention what it is about your local conditions that requires adaption of the chiles? Are you in a monsoonal weather pattern? Here in Ohio the showers are hit-or-miss every season, we never know what any particular year will bring. But it seems you have an annual dry season (with fires) and, I suppose, an annual wet season. And since you are south of the Equator, do your Twister games go in the opposite direction? Wait, you don't have to answer that... - A ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
