It is a strange world we live in today. Some teary-eyed jerk comes on my TV and tells me that 50,000 little children are starving to death every day in Africa. I plugged this into a pocket calculator. According to this moron's numbers, the entire population of the continent should have been wiped out before I was born. How can they still be there, and why would they stay in a place that is so desolate - IF........that were the TRUTH.
Then, another teary-eyed lady comes on the TV and wants me to commit to send in 37 cents a day to save the poor starving and neglected animals. Of course, this is all while showing pictures of mangy dogs and she is holding a one-eyed cat.
While on the one hand, I have empathy for my fellow human being, on the other hand, there are plenty of less fortunate ones here in the good old USA that are just as neglected and just as hungry.
Raises a couple of questions in my mind.... Why does this guy have to go to Africa or elsewhere to find starving people to help? Why isn't he/she helping out in our OWN country? Why don't the people in those starving countries move to where they have decent water and can raise crops for food? And, lastly, why do these people have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce an ad and buy air time to bilk me out of my hard-earned money????? WHY?????

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
