Soooo, then, how pray tell, did my father live to be 96 years old by farming all his life? His father died of natural causes at age 90. Also farming all his life. My maternal grandfather died at age 98 after farming all his life. I might remind you, those were the days of Holstein bulls, steam engines, fast moving belts, unprotected drive shafts, no seatbelts, Fordson tractors, no abs brakes, orange triangles, etc. What has happened? It's called, plain and simple, "dumbing down". On the other hand, I remember my grandfather buying a .38 cal revolver for personal protection in case the bull (Holstein) charged him. (My grandfather obviously knew nothing about ballistics and the thickness of the skull of a charging Holstein bull) One day, the bull charged him in the barnyard. My grandfather by that time had forgotten all about his revolver and was at the mercy of the bull except for one thing. The snoozing Collie. That Collie, according to my grandnmother who was hanging clothes on the line, was thru that fence like lightning and was all over the face of that bull in less than two seconds. Luck? Devine Intervention? Who knows?
