friends, potatoes, and a lot of quotation marks

Potato farmer? hmmm, i never would have considered it back in the days when the words "option" and "choice" were used more optimistically after the word "career." It (potato farming) was suggested during a conversation with friends, well if they read this, they may be surprised by that word choice, because if stated with semantic correctness, it would be more like - i was eavesdropping on some people, who appeared to be friends with each other, and they were having a conversation about growing potatoes; nutrition per pound, yield per acre, crop rotation, and it all sounded very positive, especially in these unsure times. I was intrigued; plus, i have recently become aware of a parcel of "farming" land made available through the clearing of marijuana by federal agents last fall. (a minute or so of deep thought, calculation, and life-course contemplation later) Gosh darn it, i'm gonna do it! I can see a best-selling biography in my future now - From Weed to Spuds, How jimmywrites Saved America! And, by the way, between us, going forward, let's just consider this MY idea. Those people who MAY have been talking about something similar at an adjacent table and got up and walked away when they "thought" i was "listening" to their "conversation" were jerks anyway. and i won't need friends when the starchy gold starts bubbling up from the rich forest preserve soil. I have to just forget those guys, my good ideas always get derailed and confused by crap like "friends." jerks. I need some potato seeds.
