About 7 years ago, I was sitting in the house and heard the 'thump' 'thump' of a 'copter.
I have a mobile home park on my farm that I rent out.
In one of these homes was a 16 y/o boy that just wanted someone to talk to. He would come up and sit around to just talk or help out if I had something to do. Good kid.
Wherever he went he always ran. Said when he was old enough he wanted to join the Marines. I called him Forrest Gump.
Anyway, so I hear the thumping of the helicopter and walk out to see what is going on.
I watch this 'copter keep going up and down into the tree line on a ridge behind the mobile home park.
Suddenly, I see Forrest Gump open the door of the mobile home and start running towards the blacktop road, about 1/4 mile away.
The copter tilt it's rotor and follows him down the dirt road. About a few seconds later a Black Crown Victoria, with tinted windows, comes charging up the road towards Gump. The Crown Vic comes to a stop and out jumps to men with guns drawn, yelling for Gump to stop. Gump stops and puts his hands up.
Next, Gump is splayed across the front hood of the Vic while the cops search him. All the while the copter is just hover over the scene.
Now, the drama queens, Mother and 18 y/o daughte,r come running out of the mobile home waving their arms and screaming. Cops pull their weapons agin and tell them to return to their home. This goes on for about 5 minutes...finally they return to the home.
So I figured by this time I better go down and see what was going on.
I approached the cops with my hands out and told them I owned the property. They finished questioning the boy and sent him into the home with other police inside talking to the parents.
In between all this, a Chevy 2500 P/U with a full load of guys dressed in camo filling the bed of the P/U dismounted and started climbing the hills.
While I was standing there talking to the trooper a radio call came in and said they had found MJ. He turned to me and said "There is MJ growing up there. Do you mind if we cut it down?"
What the heck? Was I supposed to say 'Naw, just leave it'.
Troopers filled up the bed of the P/U with MJ and left.
Anyway, Gump was just running to go get the mail out of the mailbox at the end of the road.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
