Right, well, it's done. Not my best effort, but I'm getting better, I think. Really got into it at the end there. Does everyone see my little rural jokes? Do you city-folks know what the 4-H Club is? How about FFA? Well, I'll let you see what you can see before I fill y'all in. --Doctor Phineas Crank 21:41, 28 Sep 2004 (EDT)
