Last December, my mom felt sorry for the "needy"..... Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the local banks have a "needy tree" (my description of it, not theirs) located in the customer lobby. These trees are decorated with ornaments that list what some of the needy kids of the area want for Christmas. I can assure you that the thought is good. Anyway, you take an ornament off of the tree and the idea is to buy some of the gifts that the needy kids need. My mom, 84, participated in it this last year. Her needy ornament had two wish items on it. She called me over to her house because she had no idea what one of these gifts was and needed an explanation. The first item wanted was a heavy coat with the local college logo and mascot on it. It HAD to have the licensed college logo. (I guess the logo makes it a lot warmer) Anyway, online prices for this coat was right around $60. The local WalMart had them for about $70. The next item I had to explain to her. The description was for a Madden 2013 football game for the X-Box 360. My mom, again remember that she's 84, had no idea what the X-Box 360 was. Again, the cheapest price we could find for this game was $60 and if we had bought it locally, it would have been higher. Also, if the kid wanted the game, that means that he already had the game box which is at least $200. Instead of buying either of these items, my mom just put some money back into the envelope and gave it to this needy kid. She probably won't be picking another ornament off of the tree this coming Christmas. I also realized that my kids are more needy than this kid.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
