Fellow Members of the MNOOTTT [Most Noble Order of the Torrified Tongue:
I'll unlurk long enough to make a few comments.
1. Tomato hornworms will feast on almost any member of the nightshade 
family.If you can't locate the hornworm in order to sqush it[they can be 
very hard to find], spraying with 'BT'  [bacillus thuringensis] marketed 
under the trade name 'Dipel' will do them in .  BT/Dipel is effective 
against all 'catterpiggles' & is quite safe for humans.

2. A friend provided us with some of the 'real stuff' that must be about 
170 proof.  As an experiment I put a whole pod of Charleston Hot' in about 
a pint of it.  Now, about a year later, this is a legacy bottle that only I 
& a few choice friends sip from on special occasions.

3. Amen, Rael........  Bad as I hate to admit it, you said it better than I 
could've!!!

Regards,
Gene
