I had a beautiful 1920s cottage-style house, maybe Craftsman-style. I repainted it inside and out, and sanded the hardwood floor in the living and dining rooms. Woman approaches me and said she wanted to rent it for "Mama", a retired teacher. Sounded good until I went by to collect the first month's rent. In addition to "Mama", there was a daughter with three boys under ten, and two adult males.
I'll skip the usual drama, but when I finally kicked them out I found that the gas (gas water heater) service had been off for three months. Electricity had been off for two. No drain in the house would flow water. They cooked on a charcoal grill in the dining room, leaving a large charred circle in the oak flooring. The living room floor they had destroyed by dragging furniture (legs broken off, sharp screws protruding from the bottom) across it and leaving gouges a quarter inch deep. Windows were broken in every room.
When they left they left all that worthless furniture and all of their filth behind. I filled 72 large black garbage bags with their offal. There was just really no place to start in fixing the place up. But thanks to divine intervention from a merciful God I didn't have to. While I was pondering what to do, I got an unsolicited offer from a realty company for my two lots. A seven-story hotel now sits on the site.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
