Not talking about NYS.Town east of me has no post office,3 small stores,2 of which have been closed for long periods of time.Town north of me has one general store.Town of Jackson south of me has had one store and an auto repair in 40 years.The auto shop is gone and the store is empty.They have a new fire station and sand shed.Monroe lost its general store.Its a long drive over poor roads to other stores.Residents didnt have enough sense to support their store.Thorndike lost its store.Town of Knox has some nice farms no fire dept.One store and a restaurant and a farm equipment dealer.There is growth in housing but business is at a stand still.I opened a tv shop 40 years ago,Sold appliances and a lot of wood stoves during the 70s fake oil shortage.Visted a tv appliance shop I worked in for 2 years when I moved here.It grew fast going into furniture for 40 years.They are converting store and warehouse space into apartments.They always had good prices, service and honest dealing.They had free delivery and hauled off old appliances.Wasnt enough.When I was selling wood stoves I ran an ad in the paper selling the stoves for 115.00 .A hardware store 40 miles away sold the same stove for 149.00.Their ad ran right under mine.A fellow I knew drove right past my shop and paid 149.00.I asked him why he did that.He said he didnt think I had any stoves.I had 11 stoves when he bought the higher priced stove.An old Farmer I talked with years ago said that people love to run the roads and they dont like to see their neighbors prosper.He had it right.I build a few picnic tables every year.I make an excellent table but I still see many flimsy tables around town that cost more than mine.I worked building picnic tables during the 50s so I know how a table should be made.Again there are not enough customers in rural areas.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
