Mark: Where in Michigan does this wild driving take place? I live in Ontario, about 30 miles east of Port Huron, and I think you folks are quite tame compared to Ontario drivers.
Now Ontarians are taming down a bit, ever since the government introduced this new law of seizing your vehicle for a week if your 50 km over the posted speed limit, (30 mph over). The fine is $10,000. plus towing your vehicle, storage of the vehicle for the week. Most add up to $13,000. plus points before the infraction is over. Would you believe this, in the first 9 months police seized 5,000 vehicles across Ontario.

When I was a teenager we had a doctor, could make it from village to village, 10 miles apart in 6 min, with his late 50s Olds. There wasn't a 1/4 mile of straight road between the two. We called him sawbones, and man could that guy cover road on an emergency call.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
