Much good luck. My brother has been dealing with battling colon cancer for a few years now, but his is a special situation. He has an generative eye disease that is supposed to hit the males in every other generation that hit him, somehow missed me. He has something called Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) that is passed down from females to males, affects every other generation, and as they've found out is somehow tied to cancer, I believe colon cancer specifically. My mother passed the gene down to my brother, so if he had and sons they would be ok, but daughters would pass it down to their sons whom would possibly go blind like my brother did when he was in college. Was pretty much ok until then, but started losing his sight rapidly. FAST FORWARD to colon cancer. My brother came down with it a few years ago. While speaking with our family, one of his physicians said that he had been doing some research and that science has tied Retinitis pigmentosa to cancer, again, I believe colon cancer. A year or two later I'm doing some work for an internal medicine specialist physician and happened to mention that my brother has Retinitis pigmentosa, and he said that cancer, again I believe colon cancer has been tied to RP. Two doctors from two different states that don't know or work with each other say the same thing, so in my brother's case, I have to assume that it is true. So, my brother went through chemo for the better part of a year a few years ago, and seemed to do ok, was found to be "cancer free" for about half a year until it came back, and he also developed neuropothy in his extremities like his fingers and feet that sometimes is better, some times not so better. When his cancer came back, he was then treated for about four months with radiation that as it turned out had no positive affects on his cancer, and tore his insides up to this very day, negative affects from his radiation. Then he underwent surgery and had the cancerous part of his colon removed, and that took some doing with special foods and stuff. That seemed to do real well, except that they noticed something, a mass in his lymph nodes that they don't care for, so a few months ago, chemo again for him, every other week. Its a rough life that my brother is living, having gone blind, now cancer. May God always bless him, yourself and others. I'm not the most or least religious person that you or anyone else would ever meet, and I certainly don't and won't preach, but when I see others like my brother, yourself, others...I consider myself to be very blessed.

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
