The Search for a Worthwhile Hydrant

Living on a farm exposes one to opportunities for enrichment city folk just don’t get. This past Thursday I got to help my brother replace three hydrants across two different farms. These are barnyard hydrants, not those things firemen use in the city. By help I mean he stayed above…

Jersey Boys

I feel compelled to issue a personal thank you to Mr. Clint Eastwood for making this movie. Quite honestly I think it is the finest movie he’s ever directed. I know the people who vote behind the scenes for the White People Awards, also known as “the Oscars” would probably…
