Robins have been here awhile in the temperate Pacific Northwest (never mind we had 2 inches of snow last night).
Everyone was pretty morose down at the coffee shop this AM- A robin had flown into the window, gave it a pretty good whack, and knocked himself out. Everyone thought he was dead. I was in a pretty good spot to watch him- Soon he was awake, but still in the same spot. Then he was up and strutting on the sidewalk, testing all his parts, then pooped on the sidewalk and flew away.
Waitress came over, noticed he was gone, and was distraught- she was just sure that "that damned garbage cat" that hung around the dumpster had come and got the bird. When we reported that he had escaped unscathed, she was so happy she brought a round of donuts for all. Owner was back by the grill, just smiled, shook his head, and went back to the grill.
When I settled up, I offered to pay for my donut. Boss said, "My girl gave you that donut- there's nothing to pay for." After a little discussion, he said, "That girl is such a breath of fresh air around here, with her passion. You all love her, and so do I. Us old guys get so jaded about 'bottom line' and making sure everything is done by the book, we forget about the important things in life. I've decided to just let her kind of direct how things go around here, and if it costs me a coffee or a donut now and then, so be it. Us old geezers need to let the next generation start taking over."

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
