Born and raised on farms in Indiana. Did four years in the Army. Came back fome a few months, then an Army buddy asked me to come to Chicago and go to work at one of the trading floor exchanges, so did that for some years. Took an apartment near Austin and Lawrence not real far from O'Hare Airport. Lawrence Ave. was a direct line with one of the runways, so jets of every size flew a couple hundred feet over me and a couple blocks north. At first, was impossible to sleep, but got used to it. Did that about three or four years, mostly because were some real hot chicks and nightclubs around there. And, back in those days long before terrorists even thought of 9-11, could go hang out at O'Hare and pick up chicks on lay over. Life was good for a young single nitwit like me, at the time. Terrorists sure messed up a lot of stuff, for everyone. Them boys is out of their misguided minds to say the least. Then moved well south in another county to a town of 16,000, Romeoville, IL, long before terrorists and 9-11. Couldn't sleep for weeks because was so quiet that all I heard was occasional wind gusts through trees across the fields and plains. Did that for about a decade, then moved back home to Indiana. Pretty quiet out here except for an occasional pack of yotes will pass through now and then, waking you up after they yipped through. Not much though. We've thinned them out pretty good.

When I was stationed at Ft. Gordon, GA, were paper factories nearby. Now, there's a smell you never get used to. I can sleep down wind of hot wet pig manure, and that's a smell that will bring tears to your eyes. But the smell of wood pulp being boiled into paper? There's one you never get used to. At least I didn't.

So, I can't quite make that out. Massey?

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. ... [Read Article]
