A place I used to work had a problem with the mailbox frequently getting knocked down in the winter. We figured it was the way the plow came out of the street perpendicular to where the box was hitting it with snow. Protective shields didn't help. He finally got fed up and put in a section of railroad rail set in concrete. One day we came in and saw the post bent over at a 45 degree angle and light pickup truck parts and oil all over the front drive entrance. We tried tracking the oil trail but without results. Found the truck a week later at a body shop on that perpendicular street. That's when we found out what was really happening.
There was this nudie bar down the street and when the drunks got out, if there was a slight snow on the ground, they didn't notice that there was a slight dogleg in the road (everything white). They would just drive straight and flatten the mailbox. This time a Toyota pickup hit it dead center and it literally cut the truck in half. As God must protect drunks and little chrildren it was fortunate the guy didn't get hurt. One more foot to the right and he certainly would have been killed. Could have been quite a law suit. After that we were able to talk the post office into letting us move the mailbox 15 feet into the drive (it was sort of a drive thru anyway) and far from the traffic. No more problems. Stupid but true story.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS ... [Read Article]
