Carl and NECMan and CH's, The Open Fields had a few Medusa chile plants. They may fit the bill for "Christmas pepper." For a look at one, a photo courtesy of Alex S ("- A") is at http://ch1200.home.attbi.com/Photo003/photo003.htm A "Feliz Navidad" and "Picante Aņo Nuevo" from NW Indiana, where I hear from La Lista (one of youse) that "we have to do something about Gary, Indiana." =^]. They're tryin': taxes from the casinos, http://www.majesticstar.com/ and http://www.trumpindiana.com/ ) funded most of the Gary Southshore Railcats minor league team's stadium (http://www.railcatsbaseball.com/stadium.asp); The Steelheads are the CBA basketball team out of Gary, at http://www.steelheadshoops.com/ ; the Catholic diocese gave the Cathedral a nice facelift (http://www.dcgary.org/cathedral/cathedral.htm), and so on.
