On Thursday I was doing the Island Packet's crossward puzzle on my lunch hour and one of the clues was "acid found in oak." I remembered from one of Peter Jones' columns that oak contains tannic acid. I never would have gotten that clue had it not been for that column. Than youSmile [:)]

your latest in GR mag was just what we needed to decide to rip up all we have down and start over in a more practical spot in the yard...your book is excellent as well!

Many Thanks for your insight!
