>>Seemed only fair to let the Nature Conservancy have it and the 185 acre watershed, and allow them to pay the tax bill while I walk around on it whenever I want. Don't you think? << Makes sense to conservationist...! <smile> >>watershed over the WR which feeds what's known as the "Sharon Seep". It's a groundwater seep over Magnesium and Iron deposits that comes out into the river just above the W. Hart. Bridge. A collection of plants there, similar to an alpine garden, is found in only three other places in the world.<< Very Interesting....! Must be Beautiful and worth saving from development..., Congratulations....! Do the walking rights get passed on to future owners? I've a good friend, David Barrington who teaches and runs the herbarium at Univ. of Vermont, he's probably has walked all over "Sharon Seep." I've wandered all over Mt Washington's Alpine Gardens doing research with him and Bruce Tiffney..., another specialist in Alpine flowers, they undoubtably know the area. We've done something similar with land we own, but have not given it away.

Hi Jeffry, Re: Trivial Pursuits or Perception of Policy Pecadilloes. Chip aced me on the 1929 call on hoof 'n mouth, so let me ask you if you can confirm this one as 1)true or 2) urban legend: Trichinosis is something that we are warned about regarding the full cooking of domestic pork (internal temperature of 170 degrees farenheit). While there is a certain level of trichinosis transmitted to humans from wild game every year, the domestic and inspected supply of pork in this country has not caused a known case of trichinosis infestation since 1918, yet the USDA, among other sources, continues to mythologize about the presence of this pathogen in the meat supply. True or false? I don't really know. Best, Ray :)
