Hi Dave,

 RH> The town runs a separate vaccuum truck to pick up leaves during the
 RH> fall. I think each area of town is picked up every couple of weeks or
 RH> so.

 DD> They wouldn'y have to worry with my place. Leaves and small twigs get
 DD> run through the mulcher and spread back on the yard to return to the
 DD> soil. And fertilise the grass that's there. The lawn mower is a
 DD> mulching mower as well.

We've got a mulching mower too, and some years we'll use that. Other
years Steve will just blow them curbside and we'll let the town take
them.

 DD> As long as it's not sweet. The beer, Shiner Bock, is "well-hopped? and
 DD> therefore bitter. Which is why I suggest the replacements that I did.

 RH> The hops are the main thing we find objectionable in beer.

 DD> They do add a bitter component. All Australian beers AFAICS are well
 DD> hopped and one of the most popular is "Victoria Bitter"  Bv)= Too bad
 DD> not of the Australian bunch are on the echo any longer. They could hop
 DD> right on this topic.

Except I thought the discussion of alcoholic drinks was off topic--or
have the rules changed?

Now those I'd scarf down in a New York minute. (G) Went to the local
farmer's market today, first time this year as Steve finally tested
negative for Covid. Got a number of goodies--slice of NY cheesecake,
slice of carrot cake, a couple of mixed berry empanadas, a blueberry
scone, a couple of sausage rolls and some kettle corn. Had gone to
Wegman's yesterday so was stocked already on produce.
