    Here too, the hardest and toughest guys are always farmers.

    You did what any normal person, who cares about others would do.

    I'm confused as to just what that lady at the diner thinks you did wrong there. The weather isn't under your control, you can't help what the wind destroys or where it blows the debris. And you're not rescue personnel so you weren't obligated to go out in the storm and put yourself at risk to clean it up. A lot of folks wouldn't have.

    If anything the world could use a few more like you, and a few less like her.

    Maybe the lady a the diner needs to become a farmer and get a grip on reality! Let's just hope she doesn't have any kids that turn out like her............

    Sounds like a fiasco.

    It reminds of some hurricane and flood memories I had just as soon forget.
    Glad you made it through.

    Thanks for showing how us farmers are. We are community people and do what it takes to help others.

    Around here when it storms my phone goes off all the time about downed trees in the road. Big tractor with bucket and grapple along with a chainsaw not much stays where it fell

    For those wondering what I did wrong....

    THIS particular farmer, is a transplanted NYC Jew, who apparently has no business living, let alone living in my neighborhood.
    and before you ask, no, I DONT like my bagels with a schmear! (Hells, I'm such a lousy jew, I dont even LIKE lox on a bagel)

    Well, I'm certainly glad you came out relatively unscathed, that is/was a big old barn....

    You went above and beyond, you looked out for others, without care for yourself, that's a whole whack of good vibes and good karma. And the Witch that rained on your parade, next time you see her tell her it was obvious she was out of the rain, as she didn't melt, and too bad the barn missed her, you wanted a pair of magic red shoes for the wife.

    Good on you brother....
