Please Fwd: Hi Allan,
<Wasn't it DDT that the American mosquito abatement folks would drive down suburban streets rolling two great clouds of behind their trucks for we kids to run through in the street, playing moorish hide-and-seek in a couple of times a week during the summer? Those were the days, back when we all trusted that the government would never do anything to harm us. Even when they warned us (Close your windows), we thought they were joshing. -Allan> Sounds a bit like we're in the same age group. I remember that after moving from Conway, SC that I learned of the death of one of my friends that was run over by a fogger truck on his bicycle while darting in and out of the fogger clouds. I didn't think at that time how prophetic his death was but did remember that an odd feeling arose in me at that time concerning it that said his death would not be in vain. What's more is another question. Now that the developers and real estate agents are hopping on the same areas and deleting the wetlands through drainage, I just wonder how much residual ddt is still hanging around in there? This is important too since those areas are still habitat for lowcountry black bear populations. But in all this is a moral. The people who are moving into those lands are pretty much the same ones that look down their noses at Southerners and come in to displace all existing culture. It may be interesting to watch these areas since the water table there is only a few feet from the surface.
