Well, that explains why it no longer tastes like it did when I was a kid in NY state! Or when we produced it ourselves in the MO Ozarks. It boils down 40 to 1! When you're trotting through the maple grove collecting on a warm day after an overnight freeze, The Saps're Running to keep up with the Running Sap! Ya' know, I sure got to do a lot of 'country' things as a 'city boy' that even 'country boys' didn't get to do.


When I was young, I was Liberal. As I aged and wised up, I became Conservative. Now that I'm old, I have settled on Curmudgeon.
