Who da thunk?

Farmers do have health insurance.

hey. I lost your email address. However, Jack van Almelo mentioned he was looking for a new DRM and asked if I knew anyone who would fit the criteria...so I mentioned you. He said they had gotten your application---I gave you a positive endorsement since I think you would fit their needs quite well. Hope it works out for you!

This reminds me of an article I recently read in a National Geographic about allergies and toxins in our environment/homes/carpets/tubs/etc. that leech into our systems.

The article mentioned a study that had been done on childhood asthma and allergies; the study found very little cases of allergies or asthma among children who live on farms or in similar locations because they are exposed to and play in and around "good dirt" from a young age. In other words, their immune systems are strengthened by their brushes with manure. Contrastingly, children in suburban homes with indoor air conditioning, etc., had a significantly higher rate of these problems.

Yeah, it's interesting, and that's what I think.

You do that. I read your wife's blog religiously....so to speak. She's an amazing woman, Matt. It would be nice to have you all near.

But you must admit, you enjoyed the 'Chicken luge' just a little bit.
