Hi Chet,
I remember reading about your kombucha experience.  What was the final
outcome?  Do you recommned it? My father just gave me a culture, but it
seems that the yeast is just a vehivle to consume caffeine and sugar.  I
know you are BUSY, so a quick sentence or two repley would be great if
you're up to it.thanks.

P.S.  To everyone,
I just saw a wonderful documentary about the chimps in Gombe (and
Goodall). It was on PBS and looked a little dated.  Seems like chimps eat
banana peels as well.  Goodall also observed a group of them feasting on
one of their own.
