I know it's off topic but I'm sure every tractor guy on the planet is going through this. Is it my imagination or is this "hugging" thing (as a form of greeting) getting out of hand. On TV talk-host shows, everyone hugs. Kids at school who haven't seen their friend since yesterday hug immediately when they see each other. I go out to some sort of a function and I find myself being hugged (and being expected to hug back) by in a lot of cases, people I hardly (or maybe don't even) know. And of course along with the hugs goes the little cheek-to-cheek brush, and maybe even a little kissing peck below the ear! A little hug and a squeeze here and another one there ..... I'm just not that comfortable with the whole darned thing. Now a hug for my gramma when attending grampa's funeral, well why not? But hugging my wife's bridge partner at a social gathering when I don't even know her name? C'mon, cut me a little slack. I'm considering getting a big 4" button and pinning it on my chest which says ... "You Are Entering A Hug-Free Zone". Do you think that will keep the huggers away? I'm all for tree-hugging, and even animal-hugging but the human-hugging habit is driving me crazy. Any one else feel this way? Any suggestions as to a simple solution?

They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
