A sad story. Some people obviously don't believe there will be a judgement day.

I was working on a roadsign installation contract once when I found a bank bag, like businesses use to carry their deposits to the bank. It had no cash in it, but it was bulging with checks, all made out to a clothing store in a nearby town. We were just knocking off for lunch, and I thought I'd be a nice guy and return the bag and contents back to the store. The cashier/owner went nuts and started accusing me of being the person who robbed their store a few days previous. She set off some kind of alarm, and the cops were sliding in sideways in just a couple minutes. I told my story to the chief of police, told him I had a whole crew of witnesses that saw me find the bag, and he believed me and let me go. The owner never did let up, and I could hear her screaming at the cops as I got in my truck to leave. After they moved their cars so I could back away, I told them that it was the last time I'd ever try to be a nice guy in that situation again. Over the years, I returned lots of purses, cellphones, pagers, briefcases, tennis shoes, and even a bible, (bumper and cartop sliders) but after the clothing store fiasco I was always leery of being accused of stealing the found item.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S ... [Read Article]
