No argument with the rest of your premise, however.

No. But it means things like wasting time reading thru a few hundred
used tractor ads. Thinking you need to know how to change the blades
on a swather. Feeding if someone is coming back late. Its about having
a laugh at yourself and still doing stuff you want to do during the
only life each of us are given. Its Geezer Power.

Sounds like the sort of stuff folks do.

Which part of that land loving- understanding- work stuff, that I
stated is in YHO most over dramatized?

I'll give that a shot.

Land loving: yeah, I'd love to have a couple of thousand acres valued
at a few thousand dollars per. Until the developers move in and it
goes at a couple of hundred thousand per.

Understanding: no group in the history of the planet has destroyed
more land than farmers.....not even grazers. Of course, that's
ancient history, right? Uh uh. Going on to this day. Well, yeah, in
biafrastan or some such godforsaken ********, right? You should'a
been here in southeast Curdistan two weeks ago after a few
unseasonably warm days with heavy winds out of the south. Millions of
tons of topsoil put on a rather spectacular show as it flew by. And
this isn't a particularly benighted or dry part of this enlightened
country.

Work: been there. Good stuff if it's something you like. Otherwise
it kinda sucks large.

What's your opinion on the same
subject?

I think life as we know it would end pretty quickly without the guys
who do oil changes.

This is NOT a test.

It's the real thing.....in the back of your mind....what you're hoping
to find.....

This is NOT a test

Nevertheless, how are we doing?

This is NOT a test

Have you noticed that the people with whom you share a vocation, an
avocation, and/or genes tend to be preternaturally noble?

Coincidence is the great fundamental organizing principle of the
universe.....ainna?
