Chief, I don't "hate" cats, but I'll admit that I sure don't like them, and won't put up with strays or wilds hanging around. If they keep mosying down the road, they're ok. I've been known to shoot cyotes too. And Lou's never gone after cattle, sheep, horses, dogs or anything like that. He loves people, especially kids. He's not vicious. Never once bitten a person, his tail wiggle-waggles off when someone or friendly dogs come around. He's a farm dog that doesn't like stray cats, possums, snakes, and so forth, and that's fine with me. Wish he'd leave the snakes be, but there's a never ending stock of them. I know that folks have got dogs and cats that get along fine, and don't understand it, but those are their dogs and their cats, not mine. We've never had a dog that liked cats, instinctively, and we've never tried to instill it into them, nor train it out of them. This is their property, not stray cats, racoons, or the sort. I know that they keep down on field mice and maybe field rats, but so far that hasn't been a problem we couldn't deal with here. Incidentally, we do have one stray cat around that ol' Lou aint gonna be able to deal with, and that's a Puma that I've tracked down a field fence line back in December. Only set of tracks I've found. Michigan DNR released 3 of them just over the stateline last fall, "to cut down on the deer population", and they maintain a 50 mile radius as "their own". They've been sited, and have gone after sheep, house dogs and you name it. One came out of a tree in Edwardsburg after a mother had just gotten into her car, after sending her little girl out first to take her to school, so the news and the neighbors said. Maybe they've been gotten by now, maybe they're still out there claiming stake to farms and subdivisions - haven't heard nothing lately. Maybe they've just "disappeared" whether the DNR likes it or not. Mark

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.
