As I manage to collect some 25 to 40 GB of pdfs and notes in an
'normal' year paper lost its appeal some 30 years ago.
I would likely need to hire a couple people just to store maintain and
index the information - - - if you're paying I'll start tomorrow.

Don't know where you got the information that I'm urban but I can tell
you that tomatoes plucked ripe from the vine - - - they have flavor and
task quite different to what you purchase in your grocery - - - - I call
those 'little rocks' - - - bugs my wife a lot but I really don't like them.
Taste too much like straight cellulose!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please do let me know if you're up for funding the needed help - - -
I would think that some $250k a year for the next 25 years should do
nicely.
