If you are or have ever been one, or have one in your family, you might agree with me that years ago Paul Harvey said it best with his "So God made a farmer" speech. Part of it went like this:
God needed a caretaker for the land He created. He thought, "I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild; somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to await lunch until his wife's done feeding visiting ladies, then tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon, and mean it.” So God made a farmer.
God bless our farmers and ranchers.

I was driving around today and noticed how many live oaks are bare and other trees that really look dead. More dead mockingbirds - they are staving to death because there are no bugs for them to eat. I'm tempted to go to the pet store and buy all the live crickets and put them into a tub to feed the mockingbirds.

I'm a capitalist and I don't believe in bailouts.
