Is that from flooding?

State of Emergency. Bath school district closed. Heard Canesteo got hit hard. Sucks.

Definitely plays a big part in it for sure. Now bullying does not just happen at school now it's constant 24/7 through social media. I also think parents put a lot of pressure on kids now a days with sports/activities 7 days a week. There's no time to just be a kid anymore. The covid lockdown BS has played a role in certain age groups as well. They where thrust into an insane time line and many have come out with severe anxiety because of it. If the parents handled it poorly you can bet the kids are a mess. Imagine being young and being told that you cant see grandma or grandpa because you might get them sick and they might die. I know adults that where telling there children this. Insane.

So sorry to hear. His life is over before it hardly began. It's so sad that a person so young comes to this conclusion to where they think this is the only way out. Sent from my moto g power (2022) using Tapatalk

Stinking phones and social media! Al

Broken home, bullied online did not have many friends and always got himself in trouble. Was arrested twice at school. His father just got his rights back to spend time with him last week. They were up here on Monday I talked with him he seemed happy. Wednesday he was dead. So sad.

Where does all this teen suicide come from? It seems that there are things that teens anguish from that we adults are not fully understanding. If we did, maybe there are things that could be done to prevent this scourge. I do not even remember any rash of teen suicide back when I was that age. What has changed?

Couple Two year olds off to a great start. Not to bad for the cold wet spring we have been having I guess.

Sad deal these days. Messed up world.

My best friend next door lost a grandson at 13 to suicide. We celebrated him today. “Reach Out, Speak Up, Save a Life.” “Be the Light in Someone's Darkness.” “Choose Life, There's Always Hope.” “Together, We Can Prevent Suicide.”

We also used a 3x14 plow on our largest tractor back in the day (an Allis D14). Grandpa’s JD M also did ok with its mounted 2 x 12 plow. Although slightly less hp than the neighbors 8n Ford (which I bought from his widow as my first tractor), it seemed to have more torque with its “2 banger” engine, plus it was considerably cheaper back when they were new and it had live hydraulics. The mounted plow on that JD M was a pain to mount and dismount though, compared to the 3 point on the Ford or the two point system on the Allis. We are right in that Tonawanda creek bottomland (Our road is actually a couple feet lower than Tonawanda creek road). The soil moisture content for plowing was so good yesterday morning, that I hardly missed the hydraulic draft control, that my old 8n Ford had. That’s nice for maintaining uniform plow depth over inconsistent soil conditions. My JD 4120 had “position control” only on the hydraulics.

Wasn't as wet as I thought so I mowed for 3 hours. Pushed out two fawns laying in the tall grass. Boy they wait for the last minute. So Im mowing some paths through a field and about 20 feet in front of me a mature deer gets up from its bed stretches and walks off as I drive by. It's true they have no fear of man on tractor! lol I also cut the grass down to the height of the clover in my plots. Took an hour for fox and deer to show up on camera.
