tom. gas is between 2.99 and 3.19 here now. but just last march it was 1.69 at the PUMP! it does not seem to be a supply issue as gas stations are not running out. but they say the supply is tight. I don't belive it eather. They all have merged togehter so there is less compition. in fact in minnesota it is againt the law to sell gas too cheep! there was a little station in hastings minnesota that always wanted to be 2 cents lower than the big guys. well the big guys just kept matching him. Well the little guy got sued and had to pay big fines and now is closed. now gas in hastings is just as high as the rest of the state. I paid 2.33 frr farm gas and i thought that was a rip off. because back in feb and march it was less than 2.00 There is a gas station in redwing minnesota you can prepay for as many gallons as you want. So a few years back when gas was 1.13 i bought 5000 worth. It has never came back to that level. My dad thought i was nuts because he thought it could go down. My thinking was.... well if it goes down i will just by it at the pump and save my pre paid gas. well it never went down. i was still paying 1.13 when it was 2.39 then i ran out. I wish i bought more. Even "tripple A" said gas would not go above 2.75 this year, boy were they wrong. Then on the news they were saying that we could be going in the way back machine and said gas was gonna be around .99 cent again? they were wrong too. I do know this though, when some one comes out with a diffrent fuel and it can be used in mass numbers gasoline will fall like a rock out of the sky and they will be wishing they could get 1.50 for it. I belive alcohol like brazil is the answer to big oil and farmers can raise enough crop (rember it dosent have to be corn) to make the big oil think twice. but then all big oil will due is make it so cheap that alcohol would be more expensive thus leaving us in this cat and mouse game. the ones who are paying the price will be our kids kids with dirty air and water. We need to invest in bio fuels no matter how cheap gas is.

Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
