Re: [AGA-Contest] Pond Category for Contest

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

I think ponds are actually a bigger thing than aquarium
gardens. Lots of folks that wouldn't think of having an
aquarium think that a pond is part of a well done landscape
-- it's become an upper middle-class desideratum, like
SUVs, plasma TV, and american singing idols that all sound
like they were trained on Star Search.

I think it's largely a diff group of people and for that
reason it's hard to bring the puddle folks into the fold
with the folks that actually wander into puddles looking
for aquatic plants. Might be easier to get them into a
contest involving RVing, boating, or other upper
middle-class pasttime.

Of course, I could be worng. Those double-wides look pretty
nice!
