Lost my job 12/31/02 as a computer programmer and haven't been able to get another yet. I thought people in computers were supposed to be in demand but everyone in the area is cutting staff and if anyone is hiring they want some special skill that I don't have. Plus there are apparently lots of other programmer out to get any job that opens up. I've heard time and time again about programming being contracted to India--heck while they were appoligizing and telling me it was the economy as they showed me the door they have their lawyers processing green card paperwork for an Indian collegue so he can stay in America and I was there over 2 years before he was hired. Sorry I don't mean to be disgruntled but this is the second spell of unemployment that has hit me in 10 years and I can't keep doing this. As far as the weather I barely got enough tomatoes from the garden to eat myself when I could actually walk into it to pick them with out sinking in the mud. Perhaps I should have started a rice paddie. Also wanted to note the 2 record ice storms that we had this past winter that devistated my trees leaving almost every limb broken out of my favorite large beech tree--I rented a bucket lift and cut each broken one off below the break. It looks pathetic but it has some leaves and I hope it will make it. But on the up side I'm loosing weight. I've gone from a 38 waist to a 32 with out even trying.

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
