The roads are slick. As Sergeant Phil Esterhaus used to say, "Hey, let's be careful out there."

Yeah, we know. There was a promise to be no "top 10 of 2024" lists for the end of the year, and none about resolutions, but we couldn't resist.

To the Chicago Tribune, the best headline.

And this sign from an oriental restaurant offers the second best resolution for 2011, although the best resolution is "win the lottery."

We've been remodeling the bathroom for, oh, let's see. We moved here about a decade ago. We ought to have it finished in another decade.

Suppose, if I try really hard, I can get it finished by March?

I can't say that I have always preferred to shop locally. Before the age of about 4 or 5, I preferred to not shop at all. Things should magically just appear when I wanted them.

Then I realized that there were choices to be made, and if I wasn't involved in the shopping, they would be someone else's choices.

We Never Favored New Holland

We never used much Case-New Holland equipment on our farm in Ohio. Our big tractor was an Allis-Chalmers, although we used a Johnny-popper "A" to pull wagons and other light-duty jobs, and later we got a big Oliver. Our combines were always Gleaners.

We had a Case grain drill that we replaced with a John Deere drill about 1955 or 1960. We had an International Harvester plow. International ended up getting folded into Case before they merged with New Holland. We had a New Holland hay rake for a couple of years, but Dad didn't like it, and we sold it to buy another brand.
