One of my favorite memories from 2005 was when I was parental escort for Nathan's preschool class for a bowling field trip. Everyone had a lot of fun, and Nathan bowled some pretty neat frames. I have a picture where he converted a split. Somehow we never seem to do enough of these things in … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #62: Bowling
Greatest American Hero
In the Television special "Swing Out, Sweet Land", from 1970, John Wayne said, "Countries are like people, some take themselves so seriously that you won't get a laugh out of them in a hundred years. And others are more apt then not to stick their tongues in their cheeks and tell funny stories about themselves. … Continue reading Greatest American Hero

Women who farm
Looking for something to blog about today, and the Peterson Farm Bros posted a link to the below: http://www.carbontv.com/videos/0_ite24b5i?utm_source=CTV&utm_medium=Influencer&utm_campaign=WomenWho It shows the egalitarian nature of farming.

Today celebrates 21 years of marriage for Me and Betsy. We have reached the age of majority. So today will be a panorama of that growth to majority.

Right of Way Issues
"Are you trying to get yourself killed!?!" I didn't have time to answer the car as it sped by me on Route 210 this afternoon. But if I had been able, I would have said: "No, I am just using my rights as a vehicle to travel on this road, obeying all the legal codes … Continue reading Right of Way Issues
