Next Subject Please-- but any further posts from me will have to wait until I get back from Oxfordshire, UK[/b]
What a coincidnce!! I'm flying out there myself on Friday and will be there the rest of the month!! I used to be the President of Oxford University, you see, and am going to be visiting friends and family. Are you going to be published at Oxford University Press? I'm sure they'd be interested in someone of your vast knowledge. If you have any trouble, perhaps I can help you. My great- great grandfather founded the press, and my older brother has been the director for the past 9 years. He pretty much has the final say in what gets published and what doesn't. But then I suppose you wouldn't need that kind of help, you being sought after by every publishing house in the world and all. Silly me!!
It would sure be great to finally meet you!! If convenient for you, meet me at the Oxfordshire Museum in Woodstock at 10am next Tuesday. Oh, what am I thinking!!?? You're much too busy a man to be following my silly little schedule!! Sorry.
I'll tell you what. PM me with a time and place and I'll be sure and be there. We could discuss YG 0 cattle and corn planting and synchronization and the fact that Simmis are the only continental breed of cattle now and, GOSH, I have so many questions to ask you!! Why, I'm getting all goose bumply just thinking about it!!
By the way, I think you got a bum rap from everyone on that corn planting thing. 15 acres in an hour with a 4 row planter is child's play. Heck, when I was a kid we used to plant by hand and I could do 20 acres an hour no problem on a good day!! Well, except that one spring when the bull broke both my legs and I had to pull myself down the rows with one hand and plant with the other. I thought 12 acres an hour was pretty good all things considered, but Daddy whipped me with a knotted plow line and called me a slacker. Oh, well. It made me a better man, I suppose. Toodles!!
