They call themselves the Irish Travellers and speak with a thick brougue although to my knowledge the closest anyone of them has been to Ireland is the Carolina compound called Murphy Village, a closed community. Their plates will be from anyone of the south east states, although they all live in that one huge gated compound and never marry from outside of that compound, nor go to school. I've had run ins with those guys all the way back to the early '70's when the Elkhart, IN. was the RV capitol of the world and they'd always come buy new trailers to live and travel in with their new overloaded 1/2 ton pickups. Those guys are bad news. My first dealing with them was when a friend of mine asked me to help me clean the outside of one of their tar coated pickups because the guy promised to pay us well. Honestly, we were about 12 or so and the guy made us unload every piece of equipment and tank in the back of the truck, and clean the tar off of every inch of it, pointing out the slightest spots, and when we were done, and it took us all day, he paid us 25 cents each...a quarter a piece. I swear to God. When I was older, 16, I worked at a gas station after school, and they'd always come in and ask for $1 worth of gas, and after pumping them the $1 worth of gas, they'd always hand me no less than a $20 to break for them, and often $50 bill to break for $1 worth of gas. After a few times of that, they started getting back the change in dimes, quarters, and $1 bills.
Typical last names of the Irish travellers are Toogoods, Burkes, Carols, Daleys, Gallaghers, Gormans, Jennings, McDonalds, McNalleys, and Reillys.
Those guys are bad bad news. They are gypsies and will steal a store blind, or buy merchandise and then take it back, after switching it with a cheap piece of junk. I could go on, and on, and on with true stories of my dealings with the gypsies, but nothing tops my advise of just avoiding them like the plague and saving yourselves a lot of needless grief. They are experts at shell games, bate and switch, and are fulltime con artists. Their reputation precedes them with and for good reason. Do a Google Search for "Irish Travell Murphy Village" and see what you come up national news story wise.

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
