Ever heard of the term farm hands? Oh, you have hired servants? I don't. They had employees. [...] Sure. Combine harvesting has been going on even longer then I've been around and they are expensive, which is why you seldom see one in the normal farmer's inventory. But what you don't think about is that to be economical combine harvesting can only be used in large fields that are relatively flat have straight boundaries. It isn't effective in fields that are irregular in shape or are not relatively flat. The farmers where I lived were smarter. They formed what was often called a co-op, bought one or two combines together and split the costs. Sure, there are companies that do nothing but harvest grain crops but still, use of a combine harvester pretty is much restricted to large flat fields straight sides as a Combine just doesn't maneuver around sharp corners very well. The ones we had were pretty agile, not super large. And sure studies are made of the pressures of city life... All you need to do is write up a good proposal and get the grant and away you go. A government funded study. We get them over here. Every few years you see an article in the Bangkok newspaper about someone that got yet another grant to study "Prostitution in Thailand". So ignoring the fact that prostitution have been studied innumerable times in the past some bloke gets a grant to study them once again. Having lived in the country and in the city, I don't need studies. I know and made my choices accordingly. Interestingly my wife who grew up in a huge city sees it the same way. She would never move back there. Well yes, the best of both worlds. Out of the built up areas and still close enough that one can drive into town for shows and shopping. One might call it the dilettante life style. The last time we went into Sacramento for shows or shopping was over 20 years ago when we moved to this area. Once was enough. Then about 10 years ago I drove visitors there because they wanted to see the railroad museum. We have our own train museum right here, along the singletrack. And for all this non-driving you require his and her's SUV's? She has a Toyota Corolla. I have an SUV which I do require because occasionally I have to transport half a ton of stuff. Both are over 20 years old and quite fuel-efficient. Although the latter doesn't matter much with 1000mi/year. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

When I was in the Air Force Flu shots were mandatory and some years a lot of people got sick from the shots. In one case, at an airbase in Alabama, it was severe enough that flight training was stopped for a day or so. I asked a doctor about it he reckoned that it depended on the strain of flue that the vaccine was designed for (not all flu is the same) and any natural resistance the base population had. Before I went to Vietnam I had to take a "plague shot" which was a startling large shot in the butt. When the medic pulled the syringe out and I was tightening my belt he said, "you weren't going anywhere in the next few days, were you?" I asked him "why?" and he said that after getting a plague shot "we like the guy to be available for a few days". I said, you mean I might get the plague? and he didn't reply. -- Cheers, John B. |
