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 - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
