Losing My Cool
I have a theory about life and how to handle things. You can't control what goes on around you, you can only control how you react to it. For some reason this calving season I am having a hard time following this. I am not reacting well at times. I have been getting real upset…

Internet Outage
I'm more excited than a gopher in soft dirt, my Internet's back. Monday the 11th, something went out on my Internet and it has taken until now to get it restored. It really has shown me how much I rely on the internet for my news and information. I wish to thank everyone that attempted…

I Must Be Deaf
I don't know if it's the cold temperatures, 2nd morning of 20 below here, or what but I have no motivation. Plenty out there to talk about but the motivation to do it is lacking. Do you understand what I am saying?<br />n<br />nI could talk about <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/01/13/news/state/25-bill.txt">Democrats gushing</a> over Governor Schweitzer's education bill,…

Perverse Pleasure
The other day when we got mail I noticed that the State of Montana doesn't waste any time getting it's tax forms out. I not only received one book of tax forms, I received two books with all the instructions and forms so I can file my taxes. Real nice, prompt and helpful of the…

Memories
The recent Blizzards in Colorado and a book I am reading have reminded me of the winter of 96-97 in this area. It rivaled the historical winter of 1887 in it's ferocity and snow cover around here. It started in mid October and didn't end until mid April.<br />n<br />nI have never fed cows so…

Insult or Compliment
I was told yesterday that I "think like a lawyer and you might have missed your profession." Now the person that told me this was a lawyer so I'm sure he thought it was a compliment, I'm not to sure it was though. What would be your opinion?<br />n<br />n<strong>The greatest compliment that was ever…

Here It Comes
Montana's Legislature convenes today in it's biennial 90-day session. All I can say is <a href="http://www.acronymfinder.com/acronym.aspx?rec={0EA05764-8568-11D4-8351-00C04FC2C2BF}">BOHICA</a>. I guarantee you that is what is going to happen, the taxpayers is going to get screwed over. I'm sure glad they can only do this once every two years. I don't think I could stand a yearly reaming…

Question
I have a question that I hope somewhat out there can answer for me. What's the big deal about New Years?<br />n<br />nThis ought to tell you how clueless I am about popular culture because I can't figure out the whole thing about New Year. Today is just another day like yesterday. A day to…
