Just because you make a decision that turns out to be wrong, does not mean it was a "Stupid" decision. Many, many of the people flooded during this rain had done their homework before buying/building in the area's. When FEMA puts out flood zone maps showing so called safe areas, the corp. of engineers says it's OK, the local building codes are met and the mortgage loan brokers consider it safe enough that they don't require flood insurance, most people think that is enough info to make a good decision. The problem is that FEMA and the Corp. are often wrong or the situation changes after someone has built. For example, there were many homes flooded in an area that had never come close to flooding before. There is a four lane highway south of them that the Dept. of transportation decided needed a 2 1/2 foot concrete barrier put between the lanes to prevent head on collisions. The nearby residents complained that it would become a dam during a flood. The highway engineers said they would put drains under the wall every so often to let the water through. The problem was that as soon as the water came up the drains clogged with debris and the water rose 2 1/2 feet and flooded the homes. There are picture of the roadway with 2 1/2 feet of water on one side and the other side high and dry. So you could say these homeowners made the wrong decision, but it certainly wasn't a "Stupid" one.

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
