Happy Thanksgiving my friends
just South of me

someone at RMN the other day
put an article up regarding
the same words but different topic
sorry I can not remember at this moment

food supply vs fuel supply

it may not always be wise to lose
the tricks of the trades of survival
many thoughts are running thru my mind

one of which is; it is hard work and long hours
to be a rancher or farmer

hmmmmmmm

how many times I have heard
"I don't want to do that,
it is to hard"

stunning how mixed up things are
