Another one of my wife’s six older brothers passed away this morning. He’s the fourth of the six to go.
It was almost a blessing. He’d had a hard life. Scattered over the last thirty years or so, he'd had, in no particular order, three back operations, triple bypass surgery, a broken leg, a stroke that he mostly recovered from, two heart attacks, and appendicitis. It was a heart attack and appendicitis within the last week that did him in. They wouldn’t operate on his appendix because his heart wouldn’t have withstood it. The outcome was the same anyway. BTW, he was two years younger than me.
I still have to laugh when I think about a time he and I were going to visit a buddy of ours in Ontario, CA. We were coming on I-15 from Las Vegas in a full sized conversion van he owned at the time. He was driving and I’d flopped the passenger seat back and taken a nap. When I woke up, it was half dark and we were coming down out of the mountains by San Bernardino. Ed said, “I’m not exactly sure where we are”
I looked around and said, “Oh, I know where we are, there’s that nudist camp over there”.
Talk about getting someone’s attention! He forgot all about wondering where we were, he wanted to know how I knew about a nudist camp in California. All I knew about it was the same buddy we were going to visit pointed it out during the day once. All you could see during the day was the tops of some campers in a clump of palm trees at the base of a mountain about a mile off the Interstate. When I woke up and saw a clump of lights at the base of the same mountain silhouetted against the sunset, it struck me that was where we were. It sure woke Ed up, though.

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
