90 Loads
___________________________________________________
Today the market was generally lower in all categories. The buyers were very discriminating on which loads they were interested in. The buyers only wanted the better quality loads & in general it seemed as if there was more interest in old alfalfa compared to new alfalfa. The quality of the grass was generally poorer than previous sales.
Auctions every Thursday at 12:30 pm.
** The Hudson bridge is closed **.

A teenage boy had just passed his driving rest & asked his dad about using his car. His dad said he’d make a deal, “You bring your grades up from a C to B average, study your Bible & get your hair cut we’ll talk about the car.” The boy agreed and about 6 weeks later the father said, “son you’ve brought up your grades & I’ve seen you study your Bible but I’m disappointed you haven’t cut your hair.” The boy said, “You know dad, I’ve been thinking about that & I’ve noticed in my Bible studies that Samson had long hair as well as Moses, John the Baptist, & there is strong evidence that Jesus did too!” Dad replies, “Did you notice how they walked too?”

I tapped my uber driver on the shoulder. The driver swerves, nearly hits a car & stopped an inch from a shop window. He apologized and said this is my first day, I’ve been a hearse driver for the past 20 years!
