[AT] Tractor looking

[CEE VILL]

Cecil,

You forgot the stop sign in Kanona.  Without that, there might be more 
collisions at the intersection of Rts. 53 and 415. Grin.

No I have not been in that General store.  Sounds like an interesting place 
to check out and I will do that the next time there.  I enjoy anything that 
is old wood.  My wife picks on me because I always have to "pet" it (old 
wood that is).  There is just something magnetic about it that draws my 
hand.

Charlie V.
