Leon,

You and I may know that bentonite is a local phenom that is generally
a pain in the a**. Others think it is a ephemeral magic substance.
We live in one of two places on earth (the other is in central Russia)
that have an excess of the stuff. While we can get a ton or so from
down the road, others have to resort to kitty litter or draining the
local Hooter's mud wrestling pits (in Wyoming, Hooters are goose calls
or pickup horns).

For those of you who don't drive on greenish, slick as snot, expansive
clay as a rule, or build your houses on land that rises and falls
annually by a couple of feet due to humidity, bentonite sucks.

Should you want some....let Leon or me know and we can UPS or
otherwise ship 50 pound bags of the stuff. We have it in our back
yards.
