I have a line on a Holdsworth Professional in my size, and it's an hour and a half drive from me.

I had a wonderful well producing Minneola Tangelo in my backyard. Favorite citrus. I raised it from one of those $2 damaged 5 gallon specials at the back of the nursery. It was just a stick with one leaf.
But a few years ago it got a virus and died.

the orchardist's dilemma. I lost a nice, heavily producing Royal Anne cherry here ten or twelve years ago to some kind of mysterious root fungus. I really loved that tree.The one's I've planted since do not produce nearly as well, I think because the bee population has gone down so far in the ensuing years. The citrus all produces and attracts plenty of bees, though.The weather is warmer when the citrus is in flower, there are 8 or 10 different citrus trees, and I only have two cherry trees.
I guess I could blame it on conspiracy, but I think it's just a result of natural conditions here changing.

Yup, went to see OZZY when he pulled the pee on the Alamo stunt. Next day at school I was a celebrity with my Ozzy concert shirt 
and the lectures from the old religious teachers that didn’t understand. Then I got older and it was Metallica , Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. To many a downward spiral but you are entitled to whatever belief you choose. Depressed today because all 2020 concerts are shelved to 2021 and I’m not sure 2021 will be a go.

Why do people keep making Covid-19 a political entity? It is not political it is medical. If politicians "listened" to their Medical experts they would be in a far better place.

Are all these scientists a conspiracy of liars covering the tracks of who knows what? Your post-modern, post-logic, post-fact, randomly punctuated garbage is quite insulting.

HOWEVER the question as to whether the fire was caused by a deliberate act, a negligent act or an act of god is of paramount importance to the land owner. in the case of COVID, "one" of the land owners is the USA. if there is scientific consensus that COVID-19 is a lab hybridization the ramifications become exponentially more complex than if COVID is a happenstance of nature. the reaction(s) of nation states present scenarios that are as unbounded in danger as the virus itself. how the POTUS or NATO or any collection of nation states would react is absolutely unclear. the simple Q raised by my hypothesis is, what would a guy do if his neighbor burned trash during a BURN BAN and not only did the guys farm go up but a whole valley went up in smoke>magnify that by a billion and you have a COVID . so what would you do if you were POTUS and you had a "credible evidence" that COVID was lab bred ???
