    I'm getting too old for this kind of crap

    Looking at your quotes; '..."For evil to flourish, all that is required is for good men to do nothing" Burke Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely...' Both true, and great. Had you seen the one from Allis Chalmers? Back when I was just starting out farming (1983 or...

    Cow knocked her horn off
