I have two stories that have to do with J.W. peddlers. The first one was many years ago when I was going to college. Four of us lived in a large house on a busy street. The J.W. salesladies, and a kid happened to stop by on a Saturday morning. The only problem was that we had had an all-out beer party in the house on Friday night. There must have been a hundred beer cans lying on the floor. Also, from the front door, you could look straight into one of the bedrooms....which just happened to be occupied by my roommate and his girlfriend. The peddlers were horrified, but before they could turn around and leave, their trained child took a couple of steps into the house to hand me their literature. I'll never forget the look on all three faces right before they turned around and left. The second time was a couple of years ago. At that time we had a German Shepherd/blue healer cross dog. This dog should have starred in some horror movies because the eyes were a very bright red, even though he wouldn't hurt a fly. The dog was appropriately called "Spook". I live out in the country where there are no close neighbors. A car pulls up, loaded with an elderly man and two ladies. Spook parks himself right outside the driver's door and just stands there. My wife thought somebody was lost and needed directions, so she goes to the car. As soon as she was by the car, she realized they were J.W.s. The man was terrified of Spook and asked my wife if he had ever mauled anybody. My wife just said "not lately" and turned around to go back into the house. I have nothing against the J.W.s themselves and kind of admire how they go door-to-door to peddle their religion, it's just that I have my own religion and I'm not interested in theirs.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
