I'm glad you got your other poles set. That would be an impossible job by hand. Like you said being a good neighbor also means not overusing there generousity. That is something most people don't care about anymore. They use you for what they can get and when you need help they are nowhere to be found. I'm glad you have a true neighbor and friend. They are few and far between. That's shaping up into a great storage building. How does Don like it in Alaska. I've always wanted to visit there. In the summer that is. :) A good neighbor is hard to find nowadays. I’m glad you got your other poles set. That would be an impossible job by hand.

Botulinum toxin is never "killed" no matter the temperature. The toxin is the by-product of the bacteria. The bacteria are killed using proper processing. While I'm sure that is what you meant, I feel that it is important to differentiate between the two. While somewhat rare, if some food became contaminated with botulism, you couldn't just reheat it to kill the toxin. The bacteria would die, but the toxin would still be present, causing the illness.
