I am sure glad that the price of gasoline is coming down, but I sure wish that the price of diesel would come down more! I use diesel in most of my farm equipment, and the price just doesn’t seem to be dropping very much, or very fast!

I was getting awfully tired of answering the phone about six times every night, just to be greeted by a pre-recorded political message. I’d simply hang up on them, but it was a huge annoyance just the same. I keep a phone by the bed in case there is an emergency and someone needs to reach me, but I do go [...]
