As a former work colleague (I’ll be honest, “former work colleague” sounds pretty clinical coming from someone we used to refer to as “Magoo”), I was going to chide you on making me sit through another mulch lecture. But then I again read the phrase “sort of like buying individually wrapped potato chips” and I remembered why I was here in the first place - the cleverness* of your writing (some would call it goofiness).

Incidentally, as a relatively new subscriber I haven’t yet been able to get to all the MacGougan at Large entrees. I’m hoping that there aren’t a lot of mulch-related topics.

*this in no way suggests that I’ll be upgrading to paid status, at least for now and, if I’m honest, for the foreseeable future.
