    Many years ago when there was still a considerable amount of farming in southern California, we lived in south Orange County between two huge ranchos. To the north was the Irvine Ranch, and they had thousands of acres under till with all sorts of rotated crops from tear to year. One field had tomatoes, and the pickers and cleaners had gone through, and the field was ready for the plow, but there were thousands of tomatoes just laying on the ground, and there were a lot of the field hands and their families gathering the culls that were good enough to use but were going to go under the plow. Well, my Bride and her friend were passing by, and asked one of the hands if they thought it was ok for them - Mrs. Rr and friend - to pick up some tomatoes, too; lady said sure, why not? So they were out there collecting what Mrs. Rr said were some pretty good 'maters, and along comes the Sheriff and an Irvine Ranch Marshall, and told them they were going to arrest then for trespassing and theft. They protested, pointing out the other folks gathering fruit, and the nice Marshall just shook his head and told them it was a Ranch policy; they could leave what they had gathered, and head on down the road, but not to do that again. That field is now all industrial/commercial complexes.

    My VFW just started a composting program. It his always bothered me that the waste food goes into the land fill.

    Now, it's actually illegal to feed scrap food to farm animals, so I'll certainly TRY to keep the chickens out of the compost pile.

    as i am unemployed at the moment i am bored out of my mind and spend 6 or more hours a day running thru the few web sites i belong to .. i`m on a couple of car sites besides here .. i`m on MSN news as they seem to lie the least .. and that`s about it .. i greatly enjoyed citydata.com briefly but the moderators there are bullies and the whole site itself is too liberal ( liberal ..is that how you say hillary supporters ? ) .. what other sites do some of you go to while your not here ? and dont include HAMB ....

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    There are two veteran organizations in the states VFW and AL (American Legion). You have to have been in theatre to belong to the VFW, but to have only served honorably to belong to the American Legion.

    Yes and yes. My grandson is an jet engine mechanic stationed at Cherry Point North Carolina. He's home on leave at present and were trying to get the 66 Mustang road worthy so he can drive it to N. C.

    That is awesome and please tell him thank you from us for his service!

    I think one of the best things I did for my brother was get his 92 Ford put back together so he could take it back to Cali when he was home on leave once. I think that thing kept him going.
