The cockpit voice recorder from an Air France plane that crashed mysteriously nearly two years ago, killing all 228 people on board, has been found. This device will bring the investigation one step closer to knowing the cause.The discovery of the two data recorders may finally explain why the Airbus A330 dropped out of the sky and into the ocean. It took nearly two years to locate the bulk of the wreckage.

I actually came across this on AOL news the other day. Its amazing how big the ocean is and we are able to find such small pieces of history in the depths the dark water. It will be more interesting what they will find out in recent weeks.

Farmers are ready for the wet weather to move out because it delaying the planting season. Greg Kneubuhler is mad because he cant get into the felids. But if they plant stuff by may 15 then they will still have a good yield. Its becoming more of a challenge with more rain in the forecast. They have nothing planted at all yet because they can't get in the felids yet. They have four weeks to plant. What they need is heat wind and warm weather.
