While I never plowed behind a mule, I did plow behind a 4x4 pickup.<br />Self-fertilizing farm equipment. And the mule is handy too.<br /><br />Grandpa hooked an old mule plow to his pickup and I tried to ride herd on it as we plowed a line for him to lay down a pipe or an electrical line, I forget which.<br /><br />Growing up, I also learned what it was like to pick watermelons in triple degree heat, pick cucumbers by the 5 gallon bucket, bend over for miles cutting cabbage and pick bushels and bushels of peas and beans. But I never picked tobacco.Ben Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17807488850925842222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509760839117869165.post-82991077232823690402011-06-15T10:33:41.693-07:002011-06-15T10:33:41.693-07:00I agree with your theory that immigrants take jobs...I agree with your theory that immigrants take jobs that Americans don't want. I've seen it too. I don't care to do manual labor but I respect those who do.<br />However, I worry that your anger will eventually get the best of you, i.e., heart attack or stroke.<br />Your first few paragraphs seem to be missing.Sharonhttp://theenergywriter.comnoreply@blogger.com
