I didnt want to add to the todays funny post about roads so I started this. I am a heavy highway union heavy equipment operator and work for a company who has around 150 employees during our peak season. Union operators, union laborers, union carpenters, union electricians, and union mechanics. Company policy is you work hard or you will be replaced. Quite a bit different than an industrial union setting from what I hear. The thing I would like everyone to realize is this if they dont already. A road job is generally engineered by an engineering firm. The plans are then approved by the state or municipality. The job goes out for bid and the contractor bids the work according to the approved plans. If the contractor gets the job it done as the plans specify, with either state inspectors on the job or inspectors from a consulting firm. They are generally pretty tough and there isnt really anything the contractor can cheat on. With this being my profession it bothers me when the general public think the contractor or the employees are doing shoddy work. We are doing exactly what the engineers with all their degrees designed. The problem isnt the contractor or their workers. The problem comes from a higher place. Same for county and state employees. This how much money we have and this is what we can do. There are many funds for road and bridge work that get sent to other places. Im not going to touch on that.

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
