The most memorable Christmas Eve that I can recall was about 15 years ago. Our three kids, probably aged 5-9 were in the church Christmas Eve service and we were getting them ready for the 7:00 PM service. It was about 6:15 that evening. It was dark, cold, but no bad weather and the air was still. Suddenly, our power went out. My wife lit a few candles and scurried to get our kids dressed, pretty much in the dark. I found a flashlight, waited about 10 minutes and called in to our power company, assuming that multiple customers had already alerted them ahead of me. We live in the boonies, are pretty much on the end of the supply lines and our electrical provider is a cooperative. The lady taking our call was surprised to receive the call and assured me that I was the first to call it in.

A couple of hours later we were coming home from church and there the the electrical boom truck about a quarter mile from our lane with a guy up in the bucket, along with a couple of other assist trucks parked beside it. Our house was the only one in three counties that had lost power. I felt really bad that I interrupted a half-a-dozen electrical employees from their Christmas eve time with their families, but I guess they knew that something like that could happen when they applied for the job.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
