Sam Date: 11/23/20 11:27 Re: Sad news out of Fostoria Ohio Author: Interlocker These are the stories that scare me. I ride a lot of shoves. I make sure my lantern and radio work, I hang on for dear life, and I'm focused on the path ahead. But a TREE falling on me while I'm riding? That's out of my control.
Thanks for sharing this, Farmer. I'm thinking of the deceased, his co-workers, and his family and friends. Date: 11/23/20 13:01 Re: Sad news out of Fostoria Ohio Author: boejoe How sad, especially before a major holiday. Condolences to all.

Especially with the dead ash trees everywhere. Always told not my problem. Posted from iPhone |
