[AT] Thanksgiving Day tractor chores+trees

[David Bruce]

I've seen a couple coyotes here but many more groundhogs.
Between the two I'll take the coyotes. <g>

The bigger problem here is the "long legged rats" (deer).  Of course 
this time of year the population is reduced a bit.  The wild turkey can 
also be a problem.  These days I don't have any big issues as I'm not 
growing grain and the Chow makes sure they stay well away from the house 
and garden.  I did see some significant damage in a nearby soybean field 
last season - looked to be from grazing deer.

Yes Virginia, while most firefighters are a fine bunch of
fellows there also some really stupid ones out there too. Ask any good
fireman, he can name at least one idiot on every department he has
ever worked with.

farmer your comment reminds me of a volunteer fire chief I worked with 
years ago.  He was adamant that tossing a lit cigarette butt out the 
window of a moving car would not ignite dry grass.  I also know many 
firefighters that are fine fellows and very well trained for there 
efforts but he surely didn't qualify.
