"State of the art sand"... That must be one of the dumbest statements ever made.

I laughed when I heard that cuz' I knew it was going to generate some colorfull comments.
I read a story a while back about that indoor court. In that read, it was explained that the sand has been "washed" free of any dirt, dust, and other contaminates----thus it's "state of the art pure sand" I know, I know ---- whoopdy doo.

Oh, I thought the question was going to be where did they get the sand or something like that. Sand, as you may or may not know, is used along with dirt and compost for making great potting/planting soil. Nebraskans, made up of good ol' God-fearin' farmers, know something of this. Thus, it's totally reasonable to expect Nebraskans to be aware of commercial channels to obtain sand.

That is so astute Wolfie..... you know.... you city folk understanding that most of what you stick in your mouth and swallow is raised by hard workin, "God Fearin,"farmers. The unfortunate thing is that most of those farmers work for very little so that millions of Americans can eat for a relativily reasonable amount. I am glad you were serious about your post because so many people these days view moral character with derision. That is so odd isn't it?

Sand is better than dirt. Does this have something to do with the volleyball tournament in Sand Diego?
