A few weeks ago, I paid a visit to the new History Barn in Elba, built to store all the ancient farm equipment and other relics that were locked up in who knew how many barns all over the town and its environs.

Ann didn't only tell me about the history barn. She told me a lot more about growing up in Elba and working in the muck fields. Please be sure to check out that video which should go up later this afternoon.

I remember when gas was 55 cents a gallon and so was a pack of cigarettes then late 1972-73 gas was over two dollars a gallon if you could get it. Gotta love that OPEC. We waited in line for gas over two hours.
