Loose soil means fine tomatoes?

I got them all right. You got one wrong #19. I would rather fight than "switch" ..... Not quit.

[RickO]

I protest!

I contend that #19 was actually "I'd rather fight than SWITCH"... not "quit".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Us_Tareyton_smokers_would_rather_fight_than_switch !

Other than that, I only missed the Will Robinson question.

Funny how times have changed too. I doubt having Jackie Gleason shake his fist at his wife while implying he would knock her to the moon would be very well received today.

My problem is that I can remember all this stuff from 50 years ago, but not what I did yesterday.
