[AT] Melting it all down.(copper is the new gold)

[charlie hill]

John, our farm is long and narrow.  It has roughly a mile of road frontage. 
I know exactly what you are talking about.  Richards Wild Irish Rose seemed 
to be the favorite bottle for folks to throw in the field.  I guess that 
says something about the kind of folks doing the throwing.
