[AT] cool

[Larry D Goss]

I have a cousin in Colorado who just went through this, Mark.  There really 
are folks who will pay good money for their own carbon footprint solution. 
He just sold the farm and was able to realize enough profit off the sale to 
buy another farm and have a brand new house built on it free and clear.  The 
old farm was about half Platte river bottom -- inaccessible and unsuitable 
for anything except wildlife.  A local hunt club bought it.

Keep your eye on the mail box.  I'm sending you some stuff that should 
arrive on Monday.

Larry
