Cool story. I must admit, I think I like the look. The wife did say they really look a lot different, and I see she's right! My barber bought a new Focus last year, it looks a lot more like ours than yours. Ford really made some radical changes in appearance. I know the feeling with the dealer you had. I bought this one because she totaled out her Escort Wagon a few months earlier. It too was a low mileage car so I had to argue with the insurance company (not very hard, they agreed since they like my business) so I took that money and some cash I had saved up and bought this wagon with no trades and cash on the barrel head. Almost blew the guy away, he said it had been years since he had a full cash sale and he was not a youngster either. I told them to wash it, fill it with gas and have it ready and I would be back that evening to pick it up. After dinner I told the wife I was taking her to the Ford dealer to look at cars (she had no idea I had already bought this one). The sales guy played along, it was great fun. We walked along looking at the wagons and she liked them, but I said the colors just were not right. I said a brown or tan would be better, wouldn't show the dirt as much. Asked the sales guy don't you have one in brown or tan color? He said we did, but we sold it earlier today. He asked if she would like to look at it to get an idea of the color and see if she liked it and if so he would find one that color for her. She agreed. He took us out back and showed it to her, she said yes I really like this color a lot, too bad it's already sold. I (like a smart alec) said let's see who bought it and maybe we can call them and change their mind since I want to buy this right now. Sales guy said the buyers name is on the paper tag on the back, so I walk back there. I said it's too dark, I can't read what it says. Wife bends down to help read it only to see her name. Doing silly stuff like that for the last 35 years has kept us together, and I'm glad of it!

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
