[Boatanchors] Well, There Was This BC-669 In The Barn....

[Phil]

Hmm, wish we had some old barns around here   The dairy farmers in this 
neck of the woods don't have barns, the cattle have to fend for 
themselves, either in open fields (out in the country) or at best have 
what look like large carports (basically a roof) in feed and milking 
areas. . .
