Farmers Stay Silent During Auction So Family Can Buy Back Their Farm
Generations before David was born, eighty acres of their small family farm in Nebraska had been separated out and willed to a distant relative. Coming from a long line of farmers David heard this story over and over as a child, and it fueled a passion within him to make the farm whole again.
In 2011, David and his family learned that the precious eighty acres was going to be sold at auction within a couple of weeks. David knew in his heart he had to give it his very best effort and was determined to win it back – and after two weeks of meticulous planning, creative thinking and sleepless nights, he and his father came up with their ‘best number’, and headed for auction.

The purpose of the fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast” was to help young girls accept arranged marriages.
The story of Beauty and the Beast was meant for girls who would likely have their marriages arranged. Beauty is traded by her impoverished father for safety and material wealth, and sent to live with a terrifying stranger. De Beaumont’s story emphasizes the nobility in Beauty’s act of self-sacrifice, while bracing readers…“for an alliance that required effacing their own desires and submitting to the will of a monster.”

Comment of the Day
Some people did not recognize me at first when I came back from Vietnam. (I turned 19 a week before my unit was sent to retake Hue during Tet 1968). When the fighting was over, all of us were old. Hundreds of years old, it seemed. My unit took 50% casualties. Our youth had been ripped from us. We were all photo number two. Friends from high school did not recognize me at first. Some thought I was my father (he survived his patrol being air dropped onto a Chinese infantry unit, one of only three men who survived the four day running fight) at first. I looked at pictures of my father before and after Korea, and of my uncle who liberated Buchenwald in WWII before and after the war. They were both like the photos above. Before and after.
War changes you, war ages you. It steals away something which makes you human. It hollows you out. Small wonder so many veterans commit suicide. It is not all John Wayne on “Sands of Iwo Jima”. War is dirty, loud, smelly and extremely frightening. You do things and see things you never saw in a movie, no matter how supposedly realistic it is. I never imagined having to beat another human’s head to past with a rock. The sight, the smell, the rage I felt.
The flower power hippies were right about one thing. War is not good for children or flowers. But blood does, literally, make the grass grow.
