Good one! I don't think that I could have made that up if I tried.

I'm a generally trust the local news (with a dose of skepticism) but when a blatant error such as this appears for something I know about it makes me wonder about the stories in the news I don't know anything about.

One of my favorites are the stories about corn and the video is of wheat.

Isn't that a spark ignition engine in that D17?
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

Kinda reminds me of what I do to reporters/photographers. They ask me a question, and I point out the mayor of a town that has no mayor, and say ask him...Wink
