I have been complaining about the lack of moisture for some time and everybody is used to hearing it. I am going to have to modify my position somewhat now. While I still say we are in a severe drought and are lacking rain, I am thankful for what I have got around here. I…

I see the <a href="http://www.montanaforum.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=145&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0">public favors a ban on open containers in Montana</a>, will the legislature listen? I don't know, the quote from Jim Shockley is telling.<br />n<br />n<i>&acirc;

Lots of different items of interest today. First thing that caught my eye was the article on the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/05/20/build/state/45-drought.inc">drought</a> in the Gazette. It's one of those things that I don't need to read articles about the drought since I am dealing with it on a daily basis, but I can't stop myself. It's kind…

Busy weekend. You might think it has something to do with the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A31676-2004May16.html">Bucking Horse Sale</a>, but it doesn't. That's kind of a young kids game anymore and I don't really qualify anymore. Brandings is why I was busy. Had to brand at a neighbors place to the south of me on Saturday. I took…

While pumping gas when I was in town I noticed a sign on the fire extinguisher. It said, "This fire extinguisher to be used only by trained people." OK, my question is that if there is a fire and no one else around are we just supposed to stand there like Sims, with our hands…

I really wonder why they are so worried about finding the cow though? What, are they going to take her in for questioning as a material witness? Last time I checked,…

This whole thing about the <a href="http://www.antiwar.com/ips/glantz.php?articleid=2454">Iraqi prisoners</a> being mistreated is unbelievable to me. This was just a tragedy in our relations with the Arab world and it has been brought on by the acts of a few people. Now the claim is that the soldiers that did this <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20040430/ap_on_re_mi_ea/us_iraq_prisoner_abuse">didn't know any better</a> because…

We moved the cows and calves that we branded on Saturday to the high country this morning. I was really hoping that we would get wet. No such luck. Found the three pairs that we missed when we branded. We did miss them in the pasture somewhere so we cut them out and will brand…
