Today the market was stronger. A lot of the difference from last week to this week was the fact that most of the hay was dryer but the quality really is lacking still. Auctions every Thursday at 12:30.

A man had been in & out of a coma for months. Day after day his wife sat by his bedside, holding his hand, her love & hope unwavering. One Afternoon, his eyes fluttered open, slowly he looked around the room and then motioned for her to come closer. Her heart raced with relief and joy as she leaned in, tears welling up in her eyes... His frail voice managed to whisper, “You know something? You’ve been there for me through every tough moment in my life! When I lost my job, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you stayed by my side. When I got shot, you were there in the hospital, holding my hand. When we lost the house, you stuck with me. And now, with my health failing, you’re still here.” Her eyes brimmed with tears, and she whispered back, “Oh darling, that’s so sweet. What are you trying to say?” He took a deep breath, looked her straight in the eye, and said, “I think you’re bad luck.”
