It's an awful thing to see, worse when livestock can't get out. In '95 I watched my long time friends machine sheds and dairy barn burn to the ground, on Fathers day, while the family was out together. The heat from it was unimaginable, there was a prevailing wind and they could do nothing to prevent the dairy barn from going up, it was over 100 feet away. The heat made it spontaneously combust. From my house the black smoke plume from the fuel tanks that burned looked like an airplane crashed. I have some photos of it taken from my back steps. Their farm was 1/2 mile or so away. He told me it was set, had something to do with the new Walmart's going in next to him that was another farm.

The whole thing reeked of corruption or something, that administration was beyond disgraceful.

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
