San Francisco Burning

This is yet another picture of the 1906 disaster in San Francisco. You can see the smoke rising from the city from all the fires.


Yesterday I felt we really were developing an iron clad case for me needing a tractor. I started with having a theme this week of a disaster. Then a poll where people ponder whether they would be prepared for a disaster. So, talk naturally turned to how nice a tractor would be in such a scenario. Then some yahoo pops up and suggests that a "Tiller" would be a more affordable, practical, and effective tool. I feel we should pause a second and look at the big picture. The goal is for me to be a gentleman farmer, and have a hat like Captain Walsh. A tiller would never elevate me to the status of "Gentleman Farmer". At best maybe it would make be an apprentice gardener. So, I would appreciate if we cold all remain focused on the big picture.
