Duh!
I think I would file this under the no shit category.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=1201849&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312">World Helpless Against Assaults of Nature</a><br />n<br />nLike this is really something I didn't know?<br />n<br />n<b>Facts are the air of scientists.

Foggy Morning
Yesterday was a real foggy morning. A little unusual around here.<br />n<br />n<center><a href='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/Cow-Pixs/fogcows10102005'><img width='250' height='188' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/albums/Cow-Pixs/fogcows10102005.thumb.jpg' alt='' /></a></center><br />n<br />n<center><a href='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/Cow-Pixs/foggy10102005'><img width='250' height='188' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/albums/Cow-Pixs/foggy10102005.thumb.jpg' alt='' /></a></center><br />n<br />n<center><a href='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/views/foglift10102005'><img width='250' height='188' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/albums/views/foglift10102005.thumb.jpg' alt='' /></a></center><br />n<br />n<b>Fog and smog should not be confused and are easily separated by color.…

Ahhh, I See
The other day when I saw Hurricane Vince had formed a useless question ran through my mind. <br />n<br />n"Boy, they are about out of names, what will they do if they run through all the names for a season."<br />n<br />nThe answer has come to light for me. They switch to <a href="http://www.livescience.com/forcesofnature/051010_hurricane_names.html">Greek alphabet…

Disaster
You might think I want to say something about the latest disaster in the world, the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/10/10/build/world/35-toll-rises_v.inc">earthquake in Pakistan</a>, and in a way I do. This event prompted our own American Wacko to claim <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20051009/ts_alt_afp/quakesasiausreligion">"that recent natural disasters around the world point to the end of the world and the imminent return of…

Snow is Melting
Reading the story about the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/10/09/build/local/40-storm-debris.inc">storm clean-up in Billings</a> made me want to post the picture of my pile of debris. I will eventually burn it though.<br />n<br />n<center><a href='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/structures/clean10082005'><img width='250' height='188' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/albums/structures/clean10082005.thumb.jpg' alt='' /></a></center><br />n<br />n<br />nThe cows are fianlly settling down after the storm and are settling down to graze.…

I Don’t Know
I'm always for limiting government spending but I am not real sure <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/10/08/build/state/35-spending-cap.inc">this</a> would be a good idea. You never know when an extraordinary situation might occur and the spending limits would unnecessarily limit you. By the same token it would force the Legislature to make the hard decisions on where to spend the…

Takes Me Back
Yesterday when I was driving around looking at the calves I heard a song on the radio I hadn't heard in a long time. Many moons ago when I was in the Navy I adopted this song as my "theme" song and it expressed my opinion of the whole situation at the time. What song…

Lot’s of Snow
What a difference a few days can make. Such winter scenery. I had commented that the snow was about 12 inches here well that was on the Tullock side where I live. I went over to look at the cows yesterday and gather the yearlings and it is a lot deeper over in the Sarpy…

Quite a Meal
A new definition for biting off more than you can chew.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1186609&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312">Python Bursts After Trying to Eat Gator</a><br />n<br />nWhile this seems very humorous it actually this also shows what a threat invasive species can be to an environment.

Conservation
I've always wondered about seeing one person riding around in an Excursion or other ridiculously large state vehicle but I really doubt <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/10/05/build/state/45-state-workers.inc">this</a> is going to stop the practice. Those state workers <b>feel</b> more important in those big vehicles. Must be something about the size of their vehicle relating to the size of their…
