    You Know You Are Old When

    At least you were in the basement. My homeroom was on the second floor with 30 kids under rickety desks. Teacher told us we'd probably be close to nukes going off because of the Merican and Kanuckistanny power plants near Niagara Falls.

    9/11 I was just getting ready to roast 10 bushels of red peppers. It came on the radio. Most of the day was in front of the tube. Beautiful fall day, blue sky, some fluffy white clouds. I remember the shuttles and Waco. Edges of memory are Robert Kennedy and MLK Jr. We skipped school and got...

    Neighbor's cattle in yard

    When I was a kid the old man used to keep a couple milkers and he'd go to market every week in the winter to buy cattle for butchering. In the spring he'd get a couple about 6 month old calves to raise until the fall for us. Baby beef he called it. Part of the fence in their pasture was an old...

    What happened to Massey Ferguson?

    We used to have 5 dealerships within an hours drive. This area has a variety of farm operations ranged from fresh fruit to cattle and grain. Each dealer sort of specialized in his own hood and overlapped some of the others. The nearest was 10 minutes. That was about 20-25 years ago. Now we...

    43F and dropping during the today. Off and on rain, gray damp and chilling if not exactly cold. Starting a fire in the fire place and putting up the size 12s with a Spanish coffee. Done for the day before it even starts. Brekky? More like brunch later.

    I never realized there was so much Great Lakes shipping that doesn't through the Welland canal. I see CSL and Algo ships all the time. Obviously the giants can't make it through here but I never saw the Barker and a number of others you guys have mentioned. Learn something new all the time I guess.
