Perhaps it's because it's everyone's fault but their own? Parents didn't give them everything they wanted? Weren't the most popular in school, growing up? Didn't get the job they were born for? You know, the entire world's out of step with them, so we should understand. Cruel world. LOL. A couple of months back, some houses and barns were getting broken into in the general area. One lady got home from ??? in broad daylight, and a guy scrambled out her back door, ran through a field and disappeared into a woods. A day or so later, the local marshall pulled a over a guy walking down a road that he didn't recognize and fit her general description, questioned him, didn't like his answers, took him in for more questioning, and finger printing. He got a hit on the guy's prints. The guy did time for breaking into factories in the county. The guy tells the marshall that it's true that he did time for breaking into factories, but not residential breakins. He was looking like the prime suspect to several of us at that point. Then comes back a hit on some prints from inside the lady's refridgerator that matched his - he made himself something to eat while burglarizing her house. Guess what? This guy's caught dead to rights, he's busted. He goes to court and because the jails are overrun, he gets off with two misdemeaners, and is out on the roads of rural farm Indiana as of about two weeks ago, totally free. It's a beautiful thing. The only thing we've got going for us is that it's a close-knit family/farm community. We look out for and take care of each other. Mark

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
