    Sticker shock...[Furniture Prices]

    I learned a couple of months ago that you must shop around for furniture. I was looking for a new leather recliner and went to a store in a town about 30 miles away. Everything in that store was $2000 or more. Went to a different store in a different town and they were selling the same brand...

    What did you do today? 2017 version

    About 2 months ago I posted a pic of a black field that had just been planted. This is that field of wheat today, I would guess that in about 7 days the harvest will begin; Grain first then row crops (beans, potatoes, corn, and sugar beets) the whole thing will take about 2 months.

    What was your earliest memory of life?

    My earliest memory is my Dad holding me and singing "Daisy" AKA "Bicycle Built for two". I have one image which I think is earlier; it's just a few people looking down at me.

    Type of Guns used for Self Defense/ or Other

    I don't carry on a regular basis; extremely low crime rate here. Cavalier is 140 years old and I believe there has been maybe 3 nurders in that time. However holstered next to my bed is a loaded 45 caliber Colt 1911.

    Speaking of foods, what won't you try?

    There is a dish that's quite popular around Christmas with the Icelandic descendants around here. It is Lutefisk AKA lye-fish served with lots of melted butter. I cannot get past the smell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk

    What did you do today? 2017 version

    Spent the 4th visiting relatives in western ND. On the way home I saw this field of canola in bloom. If you buy canola oil it comes from pressing the seeds of these plants.

    What did you do today? 2017 version

    We had a very nice sunny and 72 degrees today so a couple friends and I decided to do something we haven't done in about 40 years. There are areas around here that were big river channels when the glaciers were filling up lake Agassiz. If you have a good 4 wheel drive vehicle you can get in...
