About In 1776 the Americans kicked the Brits from the shore... and that event gave us the right to do tractor pulls. Hmmm..... many of you may not know what a tractor pull is. Well here are/is the rule/rules: my tractor can pull a load farther than your tractor. In competition (and it can be fierce) it boils down to this... Your tractor or mine.... which one can pull a load the farthest? And in 1776 the American Revolution said to the world, "Yeah!!!! Tractor pulls!!!!!! Pollution be darned!" And in case you misunderstand me... I am all for black belching smoke and screeching/groaning tractors... and a good old fashion tractor pull.

waow!!!!!
you have understand it at last,well then here is a fact for your history,
we have invented the humor when one of us go to hunt his God,so many people laugh at him,
and we have invented the mourning,when that hero comes back with the head of his God.
as for your wish to invade us one more thousand time,NO Sir,you couldn't,we have ......
...... .
I couldn't write it Sir,even it was a humor ,after all I am talking to a teacher.
may be one time when we sit together,until then.
my best regards and wishes.
Saad.

Oh my!!! You have a sense of humor!!!! I understand now. Laughing and living with humor is the smallest and most misunderstood part of language. Humor is VERY personal and many people have different loves and beliefs of humor. Now that I understand and realize you are a bright and funny person... I will read your comments in a different light. If we sit together in real life and talk... I do believe we would laugh and smile more than we would be serious... I understand now. Thank you Sir, for making this clear. And if I could have my country invade yours 1000 times I would be honored....

Understanding now about laughter...

Jimmy

Dear Sir,I write the first thought that came to my mind after reading, hearing,or seeing something .and here is my clear,(and it is always like that,I hide nothing)position and stand from this particular situation,so
Imagin we are sitting together in your or my home,and you said
Americans kicked the Brits from the shore,then I replayed
and then they together started to kick the others.
Here I want you to continue,what ?
I think at just when I finished my statement,we both will laugh at my comment,
this how I felt towards your comment ,and that is my imagination of my and your position,
Sir Jim,always understand me like this,and there is no need to explain any thing to me,I have given you my friendship
despite the fact that your country have invaded mine,LOL,
may be it is sad fact,and in fact it is very sad fact,but my position from all of this,
People have nothing to do with politics,
please refer to my shot in this sit,I don't have its like,
A fifteen minute honest friend,
my best wishes to you and yours,
Saad.

After I posted this photo and you commented... it made me think, not everything I do or say is taken in context. I was being funny and silly, and yet your comment made me think... perspective is in the eye of the beholder. You have a thought about America and I have a thought about America... and our thoughts are not the same. But I will say this to you Sir... I have no hate or anger to your country. I would grab (hold) you close as a brother and smile and knock your hat off and laugh. I have no anger towards you or your family. What nations do in the name of "politics" is often crazy. We (you and me) have more in common than appears. I would sit and eat with you and your family.... and I will save a place for you and your family to sit and eat with me and MM. The world is crazy.... life is simple: Live and love and laugh... there is nothing else. I will never fight with you about the Brits and the Americans... but I will forever offer friendship. Let the world roll and pass by... Saad, you and your family will always be special and protected in my heart. Maybe I do not use the correct words... I simply say this: You are welcome in my house and heart, Sir.

Oh, I forgot... the Deere was also lifting up off the ground... something I did not adjust for.

I know! I was leaning out over the track area(on the wrong side of the massive chicken wire fence) and holding the camera out. And if ya never saw one of these in action, they are a bit faster than you would expect. I just took the best I could. I have others with dead on focus but not the glorious burst of hydrocarbons.

It's nicely composed, but ya missed focus, Jim. John Deere is blurry but background cultural revolutionaries are nice and crisp.
