An old farmer-friend of mine passed away Monday. An old, penniless, hickory-spined individual who farmed with horses for 76 years. Oldest sibling in a family of 11 children. Cut out of the family fortune by step-mother and kids, he lived in a shack with his only full brother. During the last four years, all of the money he made went to paying for funeral arrangements, by selling hay and what remained of the farm equipment that wasn't pilfered by others. Now that the funeral home is paid off and it's time to collect the services, they say, "Sorry, no viewing unless you pay another $3800" None of us has that kind of money, none of the step-siblings will help, so... no viewing. They deliberately kept quiet about that while drawing up the payment arrangements. The client is dead, so he can't argue... This may seem a little weird, but I'm actually happy for him. Here's a guy who's been kicked in the head by family members since his mother died in 1933. Always ready to help someone else, rarely got paid, and... he loved to talk about horses. No longer does he have to take crap from his family, sit in that lonely old house with no horses around, living off an oxygen bottle. See you soon, Clarence.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
