That sounds like a good deal, if you saw my diary on the 17th I have two apprentice farmers who would go for that Disneyland thing. They can't drive yet but that gas included is a real plus these days.

Dear John,
Your apprenticeship program sounds interesting, but I already know how to shovel horse manure and have accomplished moving other types as well including bovine, ovine, caprine, avian. As you can see I am pretty good at slinging it. With the price of gas becoming what it is, gas included is an enticing offer, but in your part of the world, Saturday nights on the freeway is a challenge I would want to avoid. Good Luck in your search and in your pumpkin patch. Kathy V.--Central Coast of California
