Moonshine??????????????? We make moonshine [wine, that is], good stuff, bottle it, age it, then drink it. Can't age for more than two months, otherwise it goes stale and must be consumed immediately. Talking about the wine that comes in wine kits, don't have the patience to tread grapes, cuz the squishy stuff gets in between your toes and your feet smell funny; we don't have room for a wine cellar in our 4' high crawl space; and the casks get cut in half for flower pots for my wife's garden. :}:}:}
BTW, somehow I thought you were in New Zealand where they raise ovines? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 2008/05/24 09:53 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [social] I am not receiving anything from this list > * The reason the atmosphere is composed as it is is partly because of > gravity.

Science tells us how things work, technology makes it work :-) Probably hydrogen fuel cell technology is more likely or nuclear fusion. > By the way, what's the '--ine--' word for sheep, lambs, and goats?
