Hi Phil!

  Out here in Western Washington there are often rows of huge black locusts
planted exactly as far apart as fence posts ought to be, which is completely
unsurprising once you learn that they were set as fence posts fifty or a hundred
years ago and bloomed  into life in the spring after they were planted. I have
never worked with the stuff, but I hope to, someday.

How horrible it is to have so many people killed!---And what a blessing one
cares for none of them!

 Here in the Appalachians they used  rived locust a lot for fence
posts. They said to leave a fist sized stone on top of the post. "And
when the stone rots, it's time to replace the post." Believe it! (or
not).
