[Shotimes] OT alternate modes of transportation (was "My Bologna" song)

[Donald Mallinson]

Mike,

Tell those Toledo women that my wife's horses make more than 
enough "fertilizer" to make all the plants in Ohio grow 10 
feet tall.  Be glad to shovel all they want in the trunk of 
their cars if they just come over some day!  :)

Lots of people "want" the fertilizer, but almost nobody 
wants to come get it!

Anytime a landscaper in our area starts to accept fertilizer 
from area horse farms they wind up with a mountain of it in 
about a month, then they never ask again!  ;)
