Misinformation
I try to follow worldwide information on <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym> to keep up on what is going on and I see a headline that really caught my eye that comes out of Britain.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1634513,00.html">Three calves test positive for <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym></a><br />n<br />nThis headline astounds me since <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym>…

Bothersome
Today we branded at one of the neighbors places. We got them done but I almost wondered for the number of people. It seemed like God and everybody was there. I know all the neighbors and their wasn't that many. A lot of people that didn't know a lot about cattle but were trying to…

This strip was opened to white settlers…

Interesting
I found this interesting, maybe it gives me as a man an insight to women. My Darling Wife found it funny too. <a class="block_level" href="http://www.sarpysam.com/archives/982-Interesting.html#extended">Continue reading "Interesting"</a>

Understanding
Sometimes I just don't understand things and wish I did. Most of the time these things are political in nature so it's obviously something to do with with that slimy game. This time my lack of understanding is the excitement there appears to be about <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?display=rednews/2005/05/25/build/state/30-tester.inc">Jon Tester</a> announcing his bid for one of Montana's…

I guess two women being brutally beaten to death doesn't stir the FBI to do much about it. They seemed to move as slow as molasses in January on this one.
