Where did it go??

Here I am, typing, again! Last night, I had done up a post labelled, my rant of the day, or something. As I pressed post, it seemed to vanish, and it actually did. I couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe its a good thing, because I made some heated comments during my rant. Something to the tune of 'crazy people', and farming issues! So, yes, it's gone, and I've cooled off a little. Goes to show you, you should always wait 24 hrs before dealing with an issue, right? That's the motto in hockey, anyways!
This week is once again action packed. Between both boys playing hockey, and going to work, there's no dull moments at this farm house. One more 12 hr shift tomorrow, then its time to crash with a good sleep. And then off to the rink all weekend. The boys teams have had an interesting winter/week. They both seem to win some, and then lose some. Just like reality, good and bad. Both teams did not make it to their provincials tournaments. Its been a few years since we've not gone, so its a good thing I didn't get vacation for those weekends, and then just be home. I'm sure we'll find something to fill those time slots. The teams finish their regular season games this weekend, and then start into league playoffs. We'll see how that goes!
Yesterday, I had an interesting experience at work. I had a moment where I stood back and watched someone, and had to wonder whether to laugh, or get mad. I wondered how someone could be like that. Do people think the world revolves around them? Are they so special, that no one elses needs count? It makes me laugh, but its really not funny! I actually chose to be quiet. I'm sure my mouth hung open, and I think I might have shook my head. I was so shocked that someone could be so ??self-centered?? I guess we all have moments we'd like to take back.
Some of my ranting last night focused on the craziness of farming in this modern day. Someone mentioned last week that the cost of diesel in 1971 was 5 cents a litre. Compared to today-we pay 85cents to $1/litre. To sell a bushel of wheat in those days-you got around $5; today, its like $4.50/bushel. Cost of fertilizer, I don't know what it cost then, but last spring it was $400/Tonne-this spring, speculation is $600, and I've heard up to $800/Tonne. Crazy, isn't it? Our cows, which we are trying to sell, apparently they're only worth half of what we bought them for 1 year ago. And it's not because they're in rough shape. Apparently this is the effect of the strong Canadian dollar. I like to shop south of the border with our strong dollar, but it really sucks when you look at the effects on our farming business. Oh, yes, I do have to add, the canola price is really good, but please take into effect the cost of diesel and fertilizer, and it doesn't bring you that much in the end. I had to add that, because some people think the 'farmers have it made', well, don't get me going on that right now!
There's my rant in a nutshell. It wasn't so bad was it? Now, I'm going to bed, as I'm beat!! Enjoy the sunshine!
