North Carolina vs. Ohio: Round 4

Well, it's been a while. To be honest, it's because I saw no hope for Ohio ever getting another win, so I was figuring I'd just give the win to North Carolina. The depression started setting in of living in the in-laws basement, taking a major pay-cut, and leaving the old life behind (Feel any sympathy yet?). But then, new life arose, and out of the darkness and despair has come some hope. Hence, we move to round four with Ohio fighting desperately for another win to stay in the game. To be clear, an Ohio loss means North Carolina wins the championship!

1	Car rust –This is not a major issue in North Carolina, unless people are by the beach.	Car rust – I’ve noticed many vehicles full of rust, which means one thing – long winters with a lot of salt on the ground	0
	Tractors – Farming is not done in the city…the only tractors around are in the form of toys.	Yes, I finally drove a tractor. It may be the smallest one on the farm, but it is still a tractor!	1
0	Blog readers – You people are far and few between, but I appreciate every one of you.	The blog reader edge goes to Ohio. Just when I was about to end this competition as I saw no hope for Ohio, a fan came out of the wood works at church and said she “loves the blog!”	2
1	No need for depression in North Carolina!	Where’s some Cymbalta or Prozac! There’s sun outside and I’m still depressed!	0
0	North Carolina State, Carolina, and Duke football---Carolina lost to ECU, Duke students study too much, and State is always on the outside looking in!	Ohio State! Hey, they may cheat, but they win!	1
1	Houses – There are a lot of great new houses and options to look at and buy.	Houses – A lot of houses are for sale, and they will continue to be for sale. There’s a reason people don’t want to buy most of them…mold and spindles everywhere!	0

This round might have been rigged, but it's all tied up: 2-2

Farm Fact:

This is a little different from the typical fact, but I must speak my mind. While not all people living in the country are farmers, many are. Many of those farmers, because they own their businesses, must pay for their own healthcare. Unfortunately, today, due to commercial farming and the media misconstruing information, many farmers struggle financially and can qualify for medical help. However, because some of them are responsible citizens, and more importantly, responsible parents and human beings, some of them carry health benefits while seeking financial help. Here's the kicker: those farmers, and any other citizens in their boat, do not qualify for federal medical help because they already have health insurance. However, many people sitting at home receiving a paycheck from the government because they won't be responsible and go find a job do receive the medical help. (I know there are people who need the help, and those are not the people I'm referring to.) Well, that's enough politics...no more for this blog.
