This brings back a lot of memories. One of my friends was a retired
professor and he would cook a pig in the ground. He would start
cooking in the morning and it would cook all day. He only did this when
something spectacular was happening up in the universe. Everyone would
bring their telescopes and lawn chairs, we would bring appetizers, side
dishes and desserts. We would have dinner then look into at the stars.
He was quite a character. His house was built underground, into the side
of a hill, he also had an organic farm. He would urinate into a bucket,
then sprinkle it around his garden, hoping it would keep out any pests.
He passed away and I sure miss him. He grew some awesome blueberries
there in Texas.
