Rob,I agree with you ,people should try to prepare for retirement.But some people have not been as fortunate as others.Some worked years trying to pay for their homes and farms just as the couple i spoke of.They worked years just trying to make payments and ends meet.Some saved and pinched penny's all their lives and managed to make it somehow.Some of these folks such as the ones i'm speaking of have spent their entire lives working to pay for their home and raising children.They did not have big factory jobs or skilled trades with big retirement plans.They worked ,paid their bills,went to church every Sunday and treated others as they wished to be treated.But no,they have no income other than their goverment check.But i'm not going to sit around and talk about how they could have done this or could have done that to prevent this situation.I don't have a lot but,whatever i can do to help this couple i will do it.And whatever i can spare to assist in their comfort i will give also.I owe a lot to my elders for what i've learned and where it has gotten me in life.The time is here in this country to start helping these older folks in this country.If the gov. will not do more then,some of us younger people have to figure a way to do it.I'm not talking about someone who is able but won't work.I mean people who are old and unabled to work anymore.If drug addicts and drunkards are getting assistence,and beleive me i know of plenty who are,then our older folks should get more help also.Those of us that sit back and act like there is not a problem will see soon enough if things don't change in this country.Everyone can't have jobs making 20 to 30 bucks an hour with 401k plans.What about people driving 50 to 75 miles one way to jobs where they are making 8 bucks an hour? And paying over $3.00 a gallon for gas.The ones making the big $$$ tend to sit back and look down their nose at these people.Well i'm sorry but they are a part of this country also.Things are getting in a mess and if attitudes don't change then nothing else is going to.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
