I'd never heard of that ballot toss before. I've probably had some tossed too, just can't remember for certain. Sometimes you just can't stomach either candidate.
I'd forgotten who was running against George. Turned out that Poshard was more conservative than Ryan, in the end. Old George spent money like it was growing on trees. After George Ryan's disgrace, in the next gubernatorial election the R candidate's name was Jim Ryan. Poor guy didn't have a chance with the surname Ryan.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire, I guess. Good neighbors. Hated to see them go, and I wish it had turned out better for them.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
