On a related note: coming back from CR there was a tractor with a rake pulled off of the east-bound lanes of 30 into the center ditch. The tractor was completely burned up and the front of the rake was blackened as well.

I was always told that, "It was a good feeling to have hay IN the barn." Last edited by LouisB; 06/04/21. Reason: add info Some spelling errors can be corrected by a vowel movement. ~ MOLON LABE ~
