I am a ZZ Top fan! "Ucker" is a mechanical device used in Norway to harvest hay from almost vertical slopes, mostly red clover, wild timothy, sweetgrass, and purple alsike. You feed this hay to cows and the milk they produce tastes exquisite. .

Soy products have a tendency to enlarge your breasts because of estrogen like compounds. Nice for the girls, but not so good for the boys. I couldn't live without chocolates.
