Can I amend my comment and say I am contemplating a partnership business venture? When two people have mutually different assets (him land, me ag and 15years fermenting skillz) doesn’t it make sense for everyone to get their beak wet?

And isn’t it interesting, based on my back of the envelope calcs, a vertically integrated ag business (I.e. 100% farm to consumer) could be done on a minimum of ten acres (but really 25 minimum), while a traditional ag to distributor requires no less than a 100 acres (200+ really, unless you like eating ramen every day)?

Does the Louvre have an image search feature like the gewg? Don’t you think the Louvre should partner up with Google and create the Lougle, the premier artwork search facility on the web? (hock-ptooey!)

Didn’t I discover you can virtually tour the Musée d’Orsay with google, but not the Louvre?

Et voila!

Blackberries are to Oregon as kudzu is to the south–can you believe this is so extraordinarily common it hardly merits mention among Oregonians?

(That looks like a years worth)

Could you remind me NEVER to eat bananas at Gauguin’s house? He lets them sit too long.

What’s kudzu?

And why wouldn’t a surfeit of blackberries be a wonderful thing? Couldn’t you make lots of delicious blackberry crumble?

Ah, I see the confusion, how to put this in question format?

Ever see a vine that grows a foot a day?

Ever harvest blackberries where the 1/4" thorned vines grow a quarter foot per day, and the berries are either inside that morass or twelve feet up?

Have you ever seen, and I am not joking, a blackberry thicket that could stop a Roman legion?

(When I pull out the heart of their roots I nail them to the fence for other blackberries to see)

Wasn’t it incredible to be the only person in the room standing right up close to the Vermeers and the Dürers? (Silly tourists!)

Don’t I expect some hipsters brought it to Portland ironically, then it got out of control like Little Shop of Horrors?

Haven’t we seen the accuracy of your back-of-the-envelope calcs in other threads? :wink:

They are nice till they start taking over your yard. The hippie types are even ‘get out the round up’ for them as they nigh impossible to dig out completely, and Kudzu is an appropriate comparison.
Have you ever visited The South?
Have not seen how it grows over EVERYTHING?
While they are tasty can we agree that non native invasive species are not always the best thing?
