  • Recuse

    I saw last nights Blood Moon and it was spectacular. I was going to say something about it but I recuse myself and let you read <a href="http://blogs.salon.com/0002614/2004/10/28.html#a519">this</a> which expresses it better than I can.<br />n<br />n<b>Does it follow that I reject all authority? Perish the thought. In the matter of boots, I defer to…

  • The Swamp

    I have a new song. It is sung to the Beatles tune "Yellow Submarine."<br />n<br />n<blockquote>We all live in the Okie Fenokie Swamp,<br />nOkie Fenokie Swamp,<br />nOkie Fenokie Swamp,<br />nWe all live in the Okie Fenokie Swamp,<br />nWhere life is so muddy.</blockquote><br />n<br />nBy the way, what cartoon character lived in the Okie Fenokie Swamp?<br…

  • Radio

    I am a little young to have been around for the golden age of radio but I do remember hearing some of the shows. My <a href="http://www.komando.com/" target="_blank">Kim Komando</a> cool site of the day tip lead me to <a href="http://www.radiolovers.com/" target="_blank">RadioLovers.com</a> which has all kinds of old time radio shows free to listen to.

    In Memory of <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/10/16/build/local/48-cowboy.inc" target="_blank">Calvin Bohleen</a>.<br />n<br />n<br />n<br />nA Cowboy's Prayer<br />n<br />nO Lord, I've never lived where churches grow;<br />n I've loved creation better as it stood,<br />n That day You finished it, so long ago,<br />n And looked upon Your work and called it good.<br />n<br />nJust let me live my…

  • Quandry

    Does it ever get easier?<br />n<br />n<b>Life is easier than you'd think; all that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, and bear the intolerable. Kathleen Norris</b>

  • Joke

    I received this joke in my email this morning and had to share it.<br />n<br />nA cowboy was herding his herd in a remote pasture when suddenly a<br />nbrand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.<br />n<br />nThe driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses<br />nYSL tie,…

  • Thanks

    I thank everyone for the birthday wishes. Between sick cattle, broken generator, poachers, 5 hour trip to Billings and back and everything else today it was a rough day. Your thoughts make the day a little better. The thing that really made my day better was My Darling Wife. Thanks Hon and I love you…

  • Cowboy Wisdom

    –Don't name a cow you plan to eat.<br />n–Life ain't about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.<br />n–Keep skunks, bankers, and lawyers at a distance.<br />n–Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.<br />n–Don't squat down with your spurs on.<br />n–Remember that silence is…

  • Scary

    Residents of Billings should <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/09/15/build/local/75-state-bar-meeting.inc">run for their lives on Friday</a>. I've been around lawyers, I wouldn't be too sure if it's a meeting of the bar, or at the bar. <br />n<br />n<b>The question arises … whether all lawyers are the same. This is like asking whether everything that gets into a sewer is…

  • Tattoos

    My oldest daughter is to that age where she thinks tattoos and piercings are pretty neat. She knows that they are not allowed, except for one piercing in each ear, as long as she is in the house. I keep telling her that they might seem cool now but down the road when you have…
