No wild dogs or wolves here. the skeleton you found could have been a goat, sheep > or pig, could even be a fawn.

... My impression of granite is that it's cold, dark, and somber looking and usually not colors I like in a kitchen. I know it's the 'thing' to have now and all the trend followers want it, regardless of price. I guess it's akin to designer bags. I understand that it takes a special cleaner or polisher or sumthin. Granite is fine - in the cemetery. Sour grapes, if you like, but gimme my Formica which I can't seem to damage nohow. There IS one lighter streak on the counter - some food item must have bleaching capabilities but I can't determine what food that might be. ========= Me too, I love Formica counters. Cheri |

My tomatoes sometimes have trouble with blossom-end rot. They could use the calcium. Cindy Hamilton -- |
