Far too many to count Stan. Where to begin? Five, six, seven years old watching and learning from Bugs Bunny that we could take turns climbing trees, say 20' or 30' or so up while the others chopped them, us down because the Coyote showed the Road Runner that everything was survivable. In theory, all we had to do was jump out of the tree just before we crashed into the ground, which we always did very hard, and not get hurt? Luckily we never broke bones, but we proved the Coyote right, we always lived. How out the time, five, six, or seven years old we stood around in the middle of the woods lighting small fires, then wizzed on them to put them out, and did that enough times that the last time we ran out of wiz, and burned the whole woods down, a few hundred acres of it? It happened. How about instead of walking around the corralled hogs about to be loaded up and taken to market, me and a couple of buddies climbed the fence and waded through the hogs, their backs up to our shoulders, pushing them out of the way just to get to the other side, climb up and out just to get beaten by Dad for being stupid enough to possibly get knocked down and eaten by them. And you know what? One or two of them hogs might have had good memories and remembered that a couple of times while out in the orchard eating apples on the ground, one of my buddies kicked at least one of them in his rocky mountain oysters, making him so mad that he chased my buddy to the fence trying to eat him. He was pretty mad, and might have been one of them crankers corralled up on his way to be turned into bacon, and he couldn't have been happy about that either.
My Mom has the same gray hair today that she did before she was 30, thanks to my brother, our buddies, and me. I really do owe her a ton of apologies. I really truly do. 50 years later, I should round all of them up, make them come over, get down on their knees and beg her for forgiveness. And to make it good, I should join them.
Cowboys and indians with a real bow and arrows maybe? How about the tunnel we dug down 6' and over about 20', no supports? When Mom and the others moms found out about that one, they caved it in and nearly beat us to death, out of love and fear.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
