True story. Years back when I lived in Illinois, I lived in town. One night I'd just gone to bed, shut out the lights and was about to fall asleep, but I heard some scratching that made me open my eyes. Now, its dark and I'm out of bed walking slowly and listening and it was coming from a corner in my bedroom, so I turned on a light and it stopped. Well, the only thing in that corner was a guitar amplifier, so I leaned it over and looked in it, and there was a mouse. That mouse caught me in a good mood, because I picked up the amp and carried it to the front door, looked out and about and no one was around and no cars coming down the street, so I carried that mouse and amp down to the end of my driveway, barefoot and in my boxer shorts, and dumped the mouse out into the street. That little son of a gun ran right past my foot, up my double wide concrete driveway, bounced off of my garage door, and then into my garage where the door met the framing. I WAS NOT AMUSED. NOPE, NOT AMUSED AT ALL STANDING DOWN BY THE STREET BAREFOOT IN MY BOXERS HOLDING A GUITAR AMP.
I don't remember how I eventually got even with that mouse. Might've been a shotgun. Might've been a bow and arrow. I honestly don't remember how I got even with that mouse, but I did. I was not amused with that mouse in my house while I stood down by the street in my boxers.
You know what else is not amusing? Those entry door locks that open from the inside without unlocking them. Know the ones I'm talking about? You lock them from the inside so no one can get in from the outside, but you don't need to unlock them from the inside to turn the door knob to get outside. Imagine that its morning, you're in your boxers, and you set the garbage on the sidewalk out to your driveway, and you look out the door first to make sure no one's around, and you open the door, step out to set the garbage out...and instinctively pull the door shut behind you, and as you hear it click shut, you remember that you didn't unlock the door before you walked out in your boxers and are now on the other side of a locked door knob. That's not amusing either. That will cause you to go to Home Depot and buy new door locks to replace your other new door locks, but this time the kind where you have to unlock them to open the door so that you don't lock yourself outside on the front door stoop in your boxers in broad daylight...again. Amusing now? Oh sure, but not at the time my neighbors or me.

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
