I don't think that 'maters and peppers will cross. But, being members of the 
nightshade family, both are subject to the same plant diseases like the 
tobacco mosaic virus, black root rot, and potato virus.

If I do go it will be the result of steady work and thrift give the odds

payoff in Illinois.

IOW your parents were *very* conservative.

My parents get hitched in '39, so grew up in the swing & big band era. My mom 
was a pretty good piano picker. She ditched a scholarship to Juilliard and a 
minor concert schedule to marry my ol' man. According to the local busybodies 
I was supposed to be born about six months after the wedding. But, I fooled 
'em by waiting nearly three years to enter the world.

I got a price on that - at $100/sq in (then) I was looking at over 2K. I 
decided I can buy a LOT of long sleeve shirts if it ever comes to that. 
Fortunately I was astute enough to not get neck, face or hand tattoos.
