Letter from a friend

What does it take to bring tears to your eyes? This morning I found myself wiping my eyes, not once, but three times. First a dear friend wrote to me last night via email and the letter made my day. It is sweet to have good, caring people in your life. They can lift your spirits even when discouragement piles up in your heart like snow in a nor'easter.

Second time was when I read Jeffo's blog. That boy on that 930 Case, fearing for the fate of his pick up truck, could so easily have lived here. (That's him down there doing all that wishful thinking).




Then I saw this video on Jan's blog. Different kind of tears. This is a real funny one.

And don't miss Yeah Right on enforced community service. I personally will be just thrilled to have my full-time college students (who also work hard until 8 PM every single day here on the farm) conscripted into 100 hours of government required and overseen community service. A universal draft will be next. You read it first here....just wait and see. Meanwhile I think getting an education and feeding America, voluntarily, is community service enough. I have always been against required volunteerism, which makes a mockery of the very word. This is plumb egregious.
