This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone know anything about the history of the abandoned house on the hill, south of Rt. 8 (east side)? It's obviously on someone's property as cattle are free to roam in and around the house.

As a hobby on my business travels, I photograph abandoned buildings and vehicles. I was thrilled when I discovered this house with the International truck and Ford Tempest. Of all the homes I've taken pictures of, this one intrigues me the most, enough to try to learn its history. I often wonder why the house (which must have been something in its day) was left. How did the vehicles get there. How old is the house? etc...

I know this is a long shot, but I thought I'd try...

I know a little about the area. Grew up there. It would be good if the picture could be seen.

Daily Horoscope for December 11

Leo

If you look closely, you'll see a black cloud hovering over a loved one's head. They'll find the smallest excuse for losing their temper or throwing a tantrum, so tiptoe around them or try to jolly them out of their filthy mood. If the situation continues you may decide that it would be better to get the inevitable argument out of the way than to pussyfoot around them any longer.
