Well, I look at it this way. Around here we have cars, trucks, tractors, motorcycles, construction equipment, field trucks (unregistered, uninsured, un-road worthy farm implements). ATV/UTV/dirt bikes, pedestrians, bicyclists, buggies, horseback riders, snowmobiles and snowplows all using the same roads. Our town road is, IIRC, 12 feet wide with no improved shoulder over much of it. Our county roads are wider, maybe 16-18 feet and most don't have a paved shoulder and many don't have in improved shoulder. State roads are much wider with a paved shoulder. We also have a lot of one lane bridges. The biggest problems I see now and saw professionally in LE is people driving with a cranial/rectal inversion, ie- head up their backside. Doesn't matter if it's the milktruck driver doing 55-60 down a town road on a foggy morning, a group of motorcycles riding 2 breast and putting one guy a couple inches off the center line or a retired college professor riding his $2500 bicycle in the roadway when he's got 6 feet of paved shoulder he could be using. We all need to slow down, drive defensively and politely and do our best under the circumstances we live with. Everybody is a horses backside at one time or another and driving seems to bring out the worst in some folks, especially if someone else causes them to have to slow down or wait a moment to pass. I know people very well that will come to a complete halt in the middle of the road to make sure a turtle gets out of the lane that get all bent out shape when they get behind a tractor and piece of equipment on a hill. (Don't tell my wife I'm talking about her!!!) If we'd all try to be a bit more considerate and slow down just a little, or get to the side of the road with the tractor (now I'm talking about my son!) instead of staying in the middle, we'd all be a bit better off.

Today's Featured Article - Search For Spares - by Anthony West (UK). Following on from the aquisition of the old Fordson F, I was very much in need of spares. As a novice though I didn't appreciate the fact that there were so many Fordson tractors made, that all the other makes seem rare by comparison. As far as I was aware a fordson was a fordson and it was only through trial an
