I would love to see those red oxygen crystals. It makes you wonder what types of crystal formations are found deep in the gravity wells of planets like Jupiter and Saturn. Seeing what we know as gases converted into metals would be mind-blowing.

Oh the places we'll go and the things that we'll see...
I always knew I loved the lowly peanut. George Washington Carver would be so proud!

I was just thinking that a diamond and jelly sandwich for dinner sounded pretty darned good!

I had a jar of peanut butter that I would have liked for them to taken. As I got salmonella from it in February. My stomach felt like diamond chips had gone through them.

If they liked the results from peanut butter, they would love to see the diamonds possible after one of my barbecuing attempts. I could provide all the carbon they wanted.

Ya know, I just realized...we have all this land out back. I could plant some peanuts, convert the legumes into diamonds, sell the diamonds, and then I would have enough money to buy all the equipment and the rocks and minerals I need to satisfy my newly acquired addiction. Hmmmmm.
Nah, that's probably just another nutty idea from the crazy lady in Florida. ;D
But how's this for inspiration..."It is rare to find a man of the caliber of George Washington Carver. A man who would decline an invitation to work for a salary of more than $100,000 a year (almost a million today) to continue his research on behalf of his countrymen."
As an agricultural chemist, Carver, born to slave parents and freed from slavery by "virtue" of the Civil War, discovered three hundred uses for peanuts! Just imagine what he would be discovering if he were alive today and had access to all of the advances in science and technology.

With today's resources he might even have discovered peanut butter!! Weird that in all the mashing I'm sure he did, he never added some salt and sugar and smeared it on some bread.
