Very interesting, John, Thank you for providing so much information. by the way, I was living in the San Fernando valley, Los Angeles area when JFK was shot in Dallas. Dont know if the fallout from open air testing got that far but I remember many days when we had smog alerts and were not supposed to go outside to play. I also remember when they sprayed for those flies (I cant remember what they were called) but they were getting into the fruit. We were told to cover our cars because the pestitcides would eat the paint job right off the car, but....it was safe for humans and animals. Right! Jennifer John Cottingham wrote: > >...
