    Wall Street tumbled Wednesday as the price of a barrel of oil soared to a record near $124 and touched off concerns that the stock market’s recent gains might have been premature while consumers grapple with rising energy and food costs. The major stock market indexes each lost more than 1.5 percent, with the Dow Jones industrial average declining by more than 200 points.

    That begs for a story.
    I was born and raised on a farm. It’s what’s truly inside of me. We were pretty much experts at everything—livestock, crops, water, drainage, road-building, electrical, building construction, engine and machinery repair, concrete—almost everything.
At least we had opinions on everything.

Wall Street gave up sharp gains and closed lower Wednesday after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter point but left investors guessing about the central bank’s next move. The Dow Jones industrial average, momentarily soaring above 13,000 for the first time since early January, ended the session with a modest loss.
