A rare breed, indeed

I like old things. And no, not just because I am one. The more things happen today, the more the things of the “good old days” really do sound good. All the technology of this throw away generation isn’t worth the hassle. And stuff today just isn’t as good as it used to be, even … Continue reading

Call Steve, not Sam!

Most of the time when it comes to asking for help, Steve Adams of Farmerville is on the receiving end of the call. And he’s always willing to help. In fact, in most instances, if Steve knows of a need he can help with, nobody even has to call. Well, this time, it’s Sam that … Continue reading
