This is my annual agricultural hat public service announcement.

I subscribe to a bunch of Agricultural Twitter feeds.  In contrast, I think I subscribe to the feeds of two lawyers, but not because they're lawyers.  I note this, as I subscribe to this young woman's Twitter feed.

Why?

Well, when it started, she was on the harvesting tour.  I've seen the combines come through here and I knew that they start in one North American location and go north, which is interesting.  I'm not sure how many people realize that harvesting large grain farms is a contract job, it's not actually, usually, the farmers doing it.

Anyhow, I kept the subscription up as it's an agricultural feed.  I keep up the feeds from a half dozen ranches, two large Canadian ag outfits, etc.

I should note, I particularly like this one:

Father & Husband. Farmer. Bagpiper. Trying to live in a good way.

This is a bit of a disclaimer, as any Twitter post by any young woman brings at least a small selection of "Jane Doe, you're so beautiful. . . " type posts, from the Net Desperate, I guess.

Well, anyway you look at it, or her I guess, letting this happen to your skin is going to mean you're not going to be beautiful or handsome by your 40s.  The skin damage is going to catch up with you.  Fair skinned people in particular are going to get it.

People who worked outdoors used to know how to dress.  At least ranchers and cowboys still do, as a rule.  Farmers, for some reason, and people who work on farms, much less so.  It's odd.

Broad brimmed hats, shirts with sleeves.  Put them on.

This too, I'd note, for outdoorsmen.  Outdoorsmen seem to spend piles of money on specialized clothing, and yet I'll still see some that aren't wearing much.  Not a good idea at all.

The girl with the steer. Maybe we can't go home again, but you can sure see why we wish we could.

We just linked this in.

I'm doing son again.

The Steer. 1942.

 Annual agricultural show at the state experimental farm at Presque Isle, Maine. Prizewinning "baby beef", raised by a daughter of a Farm Security Administration client.

I don't know how old this woman is, but given that she's indicated to be the "daughter of a FSA client", my guess is that she's in her late teens.  Probably somewhere between 17 and 19..

Looks older, doesn't she?

She certainly looks more mature.

I hate to go down that "everybody was better" in the past road, as it simply isn't true.  But a lot about this photograph is really remarkable. A young woman, some would say girl, but she looks too mature for that, is posed with a serious animal.  She has a serious look on her face.

She's clean, turned out in a dress, and not bedecked with tattoos. Her hair no doubt isn't green, violet or pink.  She undoubtedly isn't having doubts about her gender or fascinated, like so many are today, about her own organs to the extent she basis her identity on satisfying them.

Some things, indeed, truly were a lot better in the past.

Something to consider when you see a photo of that buff gal or guy . . .

is are they wealthy or employed in the vapid (i.e., entertainment) industry?

A photo showing a buffed RFK Jr., age 69, brings this up.  I don't know really when it was taken, but people who are logic impaired seem to think this proves his anti vaxing position.

No matter what you think of that, what this proves is that he has piles of time on his hands.

There's a massive difference from being awaked at 3:30 in the morning as United Airlines has cancelled, for the second day in a row, your spouses flight home, and this means you woke up only 30 minutes early, and you go on to get up and fix coffee knowing that everyone you meet today is going to be in a desperate crisis, and you are going to be in crisis central all day long, and then come home and hope that she made it home and isn't stranded somewhere, and to have all of this be normal, than to have all freakin' day to do nothing.

Sure, not everyone who doesn't have to deal with the world all day will look buff. Some will just self-destruct. But part of really looking good, so to speak, is having the time to do it.  And for those in the entertainment industry, well that's their job.

Yeah, a person should take care of themselves.  Many don't. Genes (as the young deaths of some celebrities even show) mean a lot.

But stress, anxiety, injuries and daily living mean a lot too.
