There isn't a darn thing wrong with homeschooling- not a thing. People keep saying, "But your kids won't get the socialization they need!" Right, exactly, that's WHY we are going to home school!!! Why people want their most precious possessions exposed to the "socialization" in our high schools is beyond me. It's jocks, druggies, whores and victims. Take your choice. Your kids will fall into one of those groups or maybe multiple groups. Your kids can get "socialized" undera more controlled setting at church, 4H or any of a million other venues. Then when they move into the world they know what is right and wrong. It doesn't men they won't be able to defend themselves or to interact, in fact they will stand a better chance of interacting properly rather than the rude, asinine excuse for interaction I see around me now.

End of rant. Good on you Bryce. That's a short essay though, I thought there were requirements on length, like at least 10 paras or something. But I'm old and don't remember so good!

I'll tell you one thing technology has changed- availability of parts and ease of finding them. It used to be if you needed a part for, say, a 30 year old chainsaw or lawn mower or a 60 year old baler or tractor, you spent maybe days on the phone, writing letters, waiting for answers, writing of calling back, chasing down leads, making more calls and writing more letters. Today almost anything can be located within an hour and often located, purchased and sent out within that hour. That to me is the biggest step up in technology. No more being tied to a dealer that orders your parts when he feels like it and waiting a week or more for it to come in.

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 ... [Read Article]
