Thoughts From The Middle of Nowhere

  • Haircut

    I remember one time when I was in the Navy, I gave some haircuts to some guys. What happened was that we were out at sea for around 3 months, unexpectedly, and when we were getting ready to pull into Japan the Skipper decided that no one could leave the boat without a regulation haircut.…

  • Internet Safety

    We all hear about Internet safety now days and not putting out information on the Internet that could potentially harm you in the future. I have a question. How smart is it putting out information on the Internet about an upcoming personal court case and how it is going and the personal names involved? I…

  • Superficiality

    I don't normally comment on TV very much because I don't pay a lot of attention to TV and the garbage on is just not worth mentioning. Last night though My Darling Wife wanted to watch a show that caught her eye and I sat and watched it with her. I was so mad at…

  • Time

    Time has a lot of meanings and connotations. It can be a representation of the exact time you are going to do something, I'll meet you at 1:30, or something more general, it's time to go to lunch. I always give my kids a bad time this way because they will ask me what time…

  • Change

    I heard an interesting question posed recently. How many of the major decisions that you've made in the past would you change if you had the opportunity? I had to laugh at the question. It reminded me of a conversation I had with a guy quite a few years ago.<br />n<br />nThis guy, a friend…

  • Bounce Around the Mind

    It's one of those damn things that nothing works out the way you want. All the rain this spring was great, nut the thing I feared is coming true. It is turning hot and dry and the fire danger is going up very fast around here. I know I am still haying but a rainstorm…

  • Damage Seen From On High

    There was a pretty nasty hail storm went across Northern Montana earlier in the month of June. I gave it a <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/2688-Hay-Down.html">brief mention</a> and left it at that and there was some comments on how bad it was. I found it really interesting that the damage could be seen in satellite imagery.<br />n<br />n<center><a…

  • Reminder

    <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/06/19/news/wyoming/20-saddlery.txt">This</a> reminds me, next time I get a chance, I need to buy a new rope. A King rope is the best there is in my opinion. A little more expensive than mass produced ones, but well worth the price.<br />n<br />n<strong>To become a thoroughly good man is the best prescription for keeping a…

  • Strange Words

    "It looked like a normal, decomposed, brain, kind of like toothpaste." I just heard this on TV this evening (Dr. G Medical Examiner). The way some people act I think maybe they don't have a brain but maybe this answers the question, they have a "normal, decomposed, brain."<br />n<br />n<strong>I never thought I was normal,…

  • Question

    If you were going to create/breed new stock that would bring you recognition, what stock would it be?<br />n<br />nThis question intrigued me. The first thought out of my head was, who do I know that is recognized for creating a new breed? Hmmm, nobody. Does anybody create a new breed? I know there are…
