EC,

I've heard of this or at least a similar system like this. As a matter of fact I heard that it is currently in use in an operating mine in the desert of western California. I can't remeber the name of the company as it is not a public company but I had spoke to one of the owners. They reportedly had revenue of $21MM last year. Sounded very interesting and I was curious as to whether a system like that would be benificial to IPM. Unfortunately I never got the detailed information back about it so that I could recommend IPM check it out or at least it sounds like a similar system.

Speaking of good ol' Grandad. He once drove a bus for my class when I was in 3rd grade for a field trip we were going on. When we were on the road for about 45 minutes I yelled up to the front of the bus "hey Gandpa, how much furhter until we get there?" My teacher immediately marched back to where I was sitting, slapped me and proceeded to yell and scream at me about how rude I was and that the bus driver was a very nice man and I had no business talking to him in that manner. Well I was in shock to say the least because I had absolutely no clue what I had done wrong. Mean while good ol' grandad pulled the bus off the road and came back to see what was happening. When he came back there the teacher told me to apologize to the nice man for calling him grandpa. My teacher learned two things that day. The man wasn't always nice and he was in fact my grandad. It is funny what you can learn when you don't jump to conclusions and find out the facts first.
