I have a serious issue with how some people dress anymore. And not just recently.
In 1995, our daughter matriculated at Nebraska Wesleyan University. NWU is a Methodist school, and one of the functions in the process for parents was a service that was billed as a religious ceremony. I dressed appropriately in a coat and tie.
I was dumbfounded to see some fathers show up wearing greasy baseball caps, which they didn't bother to remove, and T shirts with beer slogans or worse. The mothers were hardly dressed any better. These were the grandparents of today's group of teenagers and twenty somethings. Apparently it's been a downward slide for years.
A couple of weeks ago, as a county commissioner who is liaison to some 4H activities, I was invited to attend a 4H awards meeting on a Sunday afternoon. I wore dockers and a sport coat, no tie. Most of the awards recipients and their fathers looked like they'd just come in out of the corrals. I noticed one recipient actually did have manure on his boots. This on a Sunday afternoon. I will say most of the mothers were fairly well dressed, but why in heck didn't they clean up their kids?
Why are we becoming a nation of slobs? I can recall a time in my single days in the 1950's and 1960's when I seldom went out on the town in the evening without wearing a coat and tie, unless just going out for a quick cup of coffee and snack.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
