<<I now have this image I can't shake of Jethro Clampett posting to SI from his oil patch...>> As soon as I bother to get a wireless web phone, I'll post from the edge of the river, on the seat of my tractor, and tell you what kind of wine my wife is drinking. Me, I'm a Bud man. I do enjoy champagne cuz the bubbles tickle my nose while I drink it...but you have to use a wide-mouthed jelly jar. Some of the truest words ever spoken are: you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy. Besides, there's nothing sophisticated about MY investing. I just read a good book... buck PS I'll let you know the next time my wife goes to NYC, so yall can get together and share a few laughs about "us hix in the stix." She lived there for a few years and thinks Manhattan is the most wonderful place on earth. She'd rather live there in a 5th floor walk-up than anywhere else in the world. Sheesh!

...utterly bizarre ... a tractor. My lawn takes up 3 acres. My driveway is over 200 yards long. Am I supposed to hire a Jethro to mow the lawn and snow plow the driveway? Besides....I do enjoy planting a row of corn out front now and then....Keeps the neighbors from bugging me. I mean, fine, I accept that I'm a provincial New York Jew who couldn't exist for more than 45 minutes in the wild, defined as >5 miles past the boundaries of civilization (i.e., a handful of coastal cities). We set up a place for you poor city boys. Concierge service and all. rockymtnre.com But tractors? I now have this image I can't shake of Jethro Clampett posting to SI from his oil patch... You jealous of my 3rd grade edgekaten? Anybody wanna compare turnup trucks? Raple@yourenotsureimkidding

ctb/A@I'llsayI'mkiddingifyouguyswilltoo.com This is serious stuff. You had better learn this tractor stuff if your going to make your millions in the market. As night follows day,once you've made those millions you will have to buy some land, put in a vineyard, and make your own wine. Howya going to do that without your own tractor?? Think ahead! ca@thinkingperiodcanbeachallengeforhimondaysthathaveanainthem.
