Thoughts From The Middle of Nowhere

Just a Dumb Ranchers Wonderings

  • Unbelievable

    <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/10/20/build/world/55-quake-deaths.inc">Quake death toll climbs to 79,000</a><br />n<br />nAmazing that people live in such conditions that this can happen. Somewhere I read that this is a minor temblor in the area and worse are expected. Life is such a fragile thing, enjoy while you can.<br />n<br />n<b>Where there is love there is life. Mohandas Gandhi</b>

  • Sucker Update

    <img src="http://nowherethoughts.net/pics/lucky.jpg"><br />n<br />nThere he is, wounds and all. After I finally got to look at him in daylight I found out he was male and was in worse shape than I thought. The vet saw him this afternoon and says he is about 8 month old Australian Shepard. He has a raging hotpoint infection…

  • Sucker

    Can you say sucker? I can, I think that's what I should call My Darling Wife from now on. <br />n<br />nYesterday my oldest had an Orthodontist appointment late and when they were coming home they found somebody had dumped a young dog on our driveway here in the middle of nowhere. So what did…

  • The Wrong Path

    I got to thinking about my entry yesterday where I said, "Your, I didn't vote for him, [sarcasm] Esteemed Junior Senator[/sarcasm] Conrad Burns gave a presentation" and to tell you the truth nobody in Washington that I can vote for, did I vote for. In fact the more I got to thinking about it the…

  • What Coalition?

    <blockquote>Some Democrats have been able to position themselves as libertarian-minded protectors of Western values. <br />n<br />n<a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov. Brian Schweitzer</a> in Montana, for example, has built a coalition of ranchers, hunters and environmentalists who want to protect hunting and farming land from those who would develop the West's wide-open spaces.</blockquote><br />n<br />nI won't comment on…

  • Wrong Conclusion

    Charles S. Johnson usually has a pretty good take on Montana politics with his Horse Sense column but I think on <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/10/16/build/state/45-missing-chances.inc">today's</a> column he got the conclusion wrong.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>Perhaps they (Republicans) believe school funding and coal-to-liquid-fuels are far more complex to discuss with Montanans than jeans and Jag.</blockquote><br />n<br />nI don't think the…

  • NILE Rodeo

    I went to the Nile PRCA rodeo last night and got home a few hours ago, have to get hustling and help a neighbor ship today, and I have a few thoughts about the rodeo event.<br />n<br />nThis year they had a big instant replay screen for the event. First year for that, I go…

  • Murder

    <blockquote>Immoral. Ruthless. Tantamount to legalized murder.<br />n<br />n<br />n…..<br />n<br />n<br />nThe article — titled "The Immorality of Professional Boxing" — compared the sport to the bloody gladiator contests in ancient Rome. It also criticized the business of boxing as equally ruthless, with the fighter "only a machine to make money."</blockquote><br />n<br />nI've never been…
