Underworld,

It was an artistic statement about the farmers who supported the country and it is caled feild  of corn with orange ossage trees. The trees were a common site way back when used to mark the bounderies of farmers fields and of course the have a row of these trees at one end of the feild and there are some stone markers in the ground explaining the work of "art". I will have to dig up the pic of me standing next to one of the ears of corn. I am 6'4"ish and they are every bit as tall as me. About as silly as Columbus paying for  Brush strokes in flightConfused [%-)]

Minnesota also has the SPAM museum.

A building of that would be a fun addition to any toy train layout.

And for those of you who want your very own SPAM museum for your layout (I know it's not a large corn on the cob water tower)....

Here it is!

Has anyone here ever tried putting a popcorn kernel into a pill-type smoke generator?  Any volunteers?

The answer to many questions arise when you have patience..

I, for instance, was wondering what "grits" where suppose to be.. We call that "Corn" or "mais".. I've been patient and found the answer on this very important lack in my vocabulary..Dinner [dinner]

Daan. I'm Dutch, but only by country...
