Toolman...(Everett):

Since you are out there in Iowa, a bit of a question....

You don't think this mother nature thing you mentioned has anything to do with this "Ethanol" scam do you? You know, where the farmers 1st make a batch of corn whiskey, and if any of the "Gub-mit" tax men show up they can claim they're just doing their patriotic duty and stretching the fuel for their pick-up trucks.

Now while I don't mind befuddling "Gub-mit" tax men, but do you have any thoughts about Mother Nature's ire when not exactly ALL of the corn whiskey actually makes it to the fuel tank of the pick-up truck?

And another thing, just how much "quality control" testing does a batch of whiskey, er ah I mean 'Ethanol fuel', need? 20%??
