> [@Oakminster](#): > > not particularly dusty in the Delta. Well,where I live, it’s definitely a hot, dusty day. And I’ve been out chopping\* all day, too. \*(choppin’…yes. But not cotton. Actually, it’s the vegetables for dinner. And, sorry… no black-eyed peas. So now I suppose I should go out walkin’… Or something.) ---
