OneeyedJohn Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 So little regard for life in this country. Across the road from me last night a man (50'ish) died in his rice paddy with his metal buffalo. Face down in the mud after a brain hemorrhage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
