Just a note:  The post, below, turned out to be terribly long.  I'm not sure if it's interesting or as dull as pocket-lint.  In any case, Notes. . .is winding down.  One more post, I think, and then I'll hip-hop over entirely to Wazoo Goes West.  So please, in a day or two, consider subscribing over at that blog.  I'd hate to lose all of you when I move.

Also, at the urging of some, I'm thinking over turning Notes from Wazoo Farm into a book.  I have a few other pots bubbling right now, but I'd love for you all to mull, too, about what you've loved best about Wazoo.  Which posts,  which story-lines, which bits and baubles?  I'd love your input, and thanks, all of you, for being such wonderful readers.
