Junkbox, Episode VINO...

What an odd pre-harvest sentiment has settled in around our community. All the anticipation of a dentist appointment.

Who answers political polling calls? (Not many, anymore)
Our biggest energy natural advantage could be...water.
I've called it a tax on the stupid. Why not make it a tax on the stupid rich?
Your lyin' oven
Oh yeah - the losses are going to be big.
Will Marcellus be the baby name of the future in PA?

About Incoming

Incoming is a collection of current thoughts on the nature of the profession of farming from the perspective of a farmer/writer (see full bio here).

It will soon become obvious to readers I lean to the middle, specifically toward pragmatic libertarianism: preserving individual liberty and responsibility. Another strong influence is my education as an engineer. Now throw in 45 years as a husband, 41 as father, and 30 as a choir director. Not to mention a life of farming.

As for the humor... what can I say? Stuff just strikes me as funny. A lot of stuff, actually.

The Internet has filled a hole in my life I never knew existed. These posts are brief summaries of what I am finding and how I feel it will affect my (our) world.

The opinions are my very own. It was not easy to think them up, and nobody else can be blamed for them. In fact, most people around me brace themselves when I start typing or open my mouth.

I welcome comments. I am exceptionally difficult to offend, and have learned to try to rectify mistakes or errors in judgment as rapidly as possible. And I have had plenty of practice.

Thank you for reading.
