Fan mail

I received an e-mail from a fan (what can I say, I rock!), telling me how great my blog was and how he lived each day just waiting to read what I have to say.... or he had a story of his own to share, I dunno. Either way--

This gentleman was recently given a compost tumbler from an incredibly nice couple. I could write an entire blog on the goodness of this couple, they really are that great, but I'll just stick to his story...

The e-mail read:

"I started a load of compost last Sunday, 3/25/07, since the low temps are to be above 40 deg. for a few weeks. It is heating up to a core temp of 135 deg. which is good for this stage. Filling this tumbler, I came to question a few things, one being how full can I pack it before it will not have proper air circulation. I am guessing the door should be down to help the natural air flow. With this said, I e-mailed the compost tumbler company and asked if a user manual was available."

The response from the company came, via e-mail, wherein they requested his contact information so they could e-mail it to him.

The sad part is, I have heard similar stories.
