I'm positive you'll appreciate it. We lived on a gravel road years ago, and once, for a family reunion picnic, Mom had baked a cake with white frosting. She placed the sheet cake safely in the back of the station wagon, which was filled up with us (10) kids. Well, it was a hot summer day, and we took the back roads to our cousins. When we got there and went to unload our contribution to the dessert table, our white cake had a bit of a grey color to the frosting….what to do? Our thrifty Mother said, “Go get the Nestle's Quick cocoa mix,” and she then did a little sprinkling over the top of the cake. And guess what? The cake with the cocoa sprinkled frosting was GREAT!

Just bring in your frozen, dead carcass and let the good times roll." Good lord. But, seriously, your son can come over anytime he wants to kill gophers/moles... something in my back yard is creaing huge, hilly trails. I want it dead. “A chance to win a Winchester rifle of some sort. Just bring in your frozen, dead carcass and let the good times roll.”
