Minnesconsin Tom said...: Thank you James, but since Wisconsin has, like, 30 seconds of summer and I’ve spent pretty much the entire last 14 months locked inside my house because of COVID, I’m going outside. I’ll risk it!; June 5, 2021 at 12:38 PM

"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist.
