I thought I saw that but believed it was just in my mind and not real.

BTW, spent a week with a bunch of local kids. Before I went there, I always wondered why Africa doesn't produce more world class athletes. I figured it was lack of infrastructure/coaching/etc. After going there, I realize it's a lack of food. Most of the kids I met were probablly 70% the size they should have been plus more time spent looking for food than for soccer balls. It'll be a great trip for our guys.

I've never met anyone who actually thinks ethanol is a good idea...well, maybe one guy who has affiliations with Cargill but that's about it
