Lots of times I would be mowing hay for a commercial hay man or working cattle for a ranch and the hunger pains would hit, sometimes I would go the whole day just to try to keep from eating one but, ya’ll know how a youngun is, the hunger pain just override the basic desire to eat and you have to choke it down to keep from getting so hungry you get nervous from not eating, well I hope that I’m not the only one too notice this but I was in the grocery store sometime back and I seen a fella (late 20’s or early 30’s) getting groceries and his wife asked him if they should get a couple of t-bones for lunch, curious I asked the man where he worked at and he said he was disabled,on food stamps,so was his wife(disabled)I asked him how it happened and he didn’t remember, I thought to myself if I was disabled I think I would remember how I got that way, then I thought to myself again maybe it is none of my business, then I noticed when I left the store the guy carrying a big sack of dog food on one shoulder and toting a 30 pack of beer under the other arm leading around a 5 or 6 year old boy with the same hand that he had the beer under putting it in a very new truck 4x4 that is, seems to me this just wasn’t right then I thought well this is America and people will do what they can to get by, then I thought to myself how many times have me and the wife been to the store and had to buy bologna because we didn’t have the money to buy the good stuff like steak,because we had bills to pay,I’ve worked everyday since I was 16 for a pay check and 3 rugrat’s to raise but, I have not ever asked for anything from the govt. I’m sure some people need help but I still believe some are just phonies, when I left I thought again to myself wish I had that truck he was driving probably couldn’t afford the insurance though. SO THE QUESTION IS How many others are out there that have to eat a bologna sandwich for lunch and-or have seen this or have had it happen to them because the better half has to work just curious.

Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
