I personally find a 350 mile range completely too short. Wife and I took a trip down south to hunt up her family's gravesites, we ended up spending a great day touring Charleston, SC, We got up packed, loaded the car, grabbed something to eat from the Free Continental Breakfast, headed towards the Interstate, We gassed the car on an Ice Cream run the night before. Hit the road at 7AM. Anyhow, FOUR tanks of gas and 18 hours later we had covered the over 1100 miles home. Couple of the gas stops only took 10-12 minutes. Can you charge an electric car that quick? My '96 F-250 diesel pickup came standard with two fuel tanks, one held 24 gallon, the other 20 gallon, truck could easily get 18 mpg at 65-70 mph, that's 800 mile range without stopping. And I wished one or both tanks would have been a bit bigger. And I used that range many times on trips over the 23-24 years I drove the truck. Wife and I toured historic US Rt 66 several years ago. I wanted to start at the lakefront in Chicago, but winter storm Virgil delayed our start so we started by Bolingbrook, Ill of I-55. Took us 7 days to make it to Los Angeles. Visited some parks in California, and the Grand Canyon, and Hoover Dam. Then we took off towards home. Drove about half a day, got a motel room, next day drove something around 800 miles home, 2 tanks of gas. Our rental Hyundai Sonata got great mpg, 32-34 average for the whole trip. I doubt I EVER buy an electric vehicle, the short driving range and scarce charging stations are why. Most of my trips with my pickup now days are 5 miles to town and 5 miles home. Yes, electric would work for that. But what about the 1020 mile weekend I went to FARMALL LAND? Is there a public charging station in Avoca, Iowa? I didn't see one! I'm curious how Pete Buttigieg will tax elec vehicles for their use of roads paid for and maintained by MOTOR FUEL TAX MONEY. I don't trust Him or any of the clowns in charge now.

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
