Cuz Pam your so funny you remind me a lot of Cathy Cowett that used to post here on Corfid. We should have more people like you. You seem to look at everything with a pretty good sense of humo(u)r.

It is sad what you write about the farms being a thing of the past. Performers like Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and so many others too numerous too mention did what they could to help. But I guess it's like the Mellencamp song,

" I fight authority, authority always wins."

Pretty much the same problem here in Canada. Some years ago they had a huge line-up of Canadian talents at 'The Air Canada Centre' in Toronto, for the farmers in trouble over here. Our man was there with the boys. (band) Fred Eaglesmith was the more outspoken one I found on that Sunday afternoon.
