It says water tanks but we would call them watering troughs.

There are some advantages to everybody knowing everybody... and their business.
![]() In the early '70s Joe Kelly's barn burned, I heard it was kids playing with matches. It's hard for people who never lived in a farming environment to grasp what a horrific tragedy a barn fire is. Not just the loss of a building, and more than the death of some livestock. It's a loss of the accumulated fruits of the past years labor, like your boss says he wants last years pay back. Oh and half wage for the next few years. They had trouble getting enough water on it to kill it completely, so Rodiman pushed his D-8(they go any damn place they want), through the woods to finish the job.

Whenever my Cub Scout troop went anywhere, there was the den mother, usually one or two other moms, plus always an older Boy Scout. I always thought he was a bully, but come to find out he was a murderer.
This is the first three pages of the story as written almost a year later in a magazine. Surprisingly they got the major points right.

During the Big One, WW II, Daddy Warbucks was raking in the cash like a Cocaine Cartel Chief.
That had to come from somewhere in bigger lumps and a lot faster than taxes could reap. The solution was what we call a War Bond drive, but at the time they were called War Loan Drives. Don't know exactly when this one took place but the captured V-1 would indicate later in the war. It looks like people had been signing the V-1 and the tow truck with chalk.

I found this one interesting, although no one else probably will. Looking south toward the hills of CT. The edge of Chet's barn on the right, Leonard's house on the left and my horses in the middle.

I'd guess by the paved road and lack of barn/garage behind the house, that was probably taken around 1970ish. The horses are buried in that pasture.

Oh my god, hide the women, children and livestock. The boy scouts, lots of them, are shooting GUNS.
