About 4 years ago I lost a good friend.....he was a fit 74 year old guy....former long haul driver. He was found underneath a 1200 lb roll of hay.....tractor still running.....just in the midst of a routinue feeding.
This afternoon a car showed up in the driveway......news de je vue.......a classmate...age 72... that had rented the pastures here for 14-15 years while I was too busy to maintain things......was feeding just before dark yesterday.....the same....crushed by a roll.
My wife is really up in arms now about my small activity......just a few hungry head......and I'll not be able to hoist a roll up without remembering................and I will vow to NEVER walk under a roll.......I made that same vow on the first loss...and of course have grown a bit lax over time.......??
I'm leaving in a few minutes to visit the family......I'm going to hate the drive.....
Just a reminder to all on this site.........thanks friends
