Finally got the chance today to ride down in one of the neighborhoods that got hit by the tornado this past weekend. I've been working on a piece of equipment a customer was using to clean up debris where it had done 'a little' damage but what a difference several hundred yards made. Looked like it was in the process of jumping when it went across where I was working but on into the next neighborhood the top was gone off of one house, and the house next to it was basically gone. What's really strange is that a couple houses down on either side the lawn furnature was still setting in the yard, untouched, no siding gone, etc, etc. I haven't seen it but I was told by a police officer that after it jumped the interstate it hit the next neighborhood over full force and what I was seeing with the few houses hit where I was wasn't even a drop in the bucket.
Now to the miracle part. I had heard the story several times this wek from various people but given the subject matter thought it was just alot of BS. That said I asked the cop I was talking to about it and he verified what I had heard. Seems there were three kids sucked out of one, or more, of the demolished houses by the tornado and set down a couple of hundred yards away on the interstate. He said other than a few cuts and bruises all three kids were just fine. Like I said I thought it was all BS but the cop verified that it did actually happen. Now if that happening and those kids not being hurt ain't a miracle, I don't know what is. One thing about it, they will all three sure have something to tell their kids and grandkids about when they get older......

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
