There are many people facing hard times.The increase in fuel prices alone can wreck a house hold.Right now 200 gallons of fuel oil would take my entire SS check.My mail order book business is gone.No work in my shop where I fix fence chargers.Ive never had a mortgage or paid rent, dont use credit cards.January has always been hard here but its worse than ever now.There are professional beggers but how do you seperate them from those truly in need.I picked up a fellow hitchiking with a 5 gallon can.He was going to the store for kerosene.He had a 50 gallon drum for kerosene but some do gooders made it illegal to use 50 gal. drums for kerosene.He was out of work because of muddy conditions in the woods .He was getting by doing odd jobs for neighbors.Plus most oil dealers wont deliver less than 100 gallons.When my regular dealer had the differential fail in his truck I found it damn near impossible to get an oil delivery from other oil dealers.I found a dealer that would drop off small amounts on his regular deliverly day day.One dealer wanted cash but we had just 135 bucks on hand.he said that wasnt enough to stop.I live 500 feet from a general store, clown that ran the store had no fuel oil,no kerosene,no diesel, no off road diesel no gasoline..He never refilled the tanks.As for the wise As who gripe about unemployment checks you dont get them in January here.Those who never had to get by on unemployment checks seem to be experts on the subject.City of 40000 25 miles from here had beds for 994 homeless during January.If i could type faster I would put a poem in I found called Living The Good Life or I Dont Care.Its about a Union Man who dosent care that his neighbors are going hungry.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: The Saga of Grandpa's Tractor - by The following saga is from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Someone. The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
