What to do?
I guess I just don't get <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37911-2004Aug3.html">this</a>. If the administration doesn't put out a terror warning and something happens, they will be blamed for failing to protect the American people. If they do put out a warning based on intelligence gathered, people claim its a political ploy and the intelligence is old. I personally…

Yesterday
Yesterday was one of those days that I was going all day with no pause. The bad thing was I didn't get to see my Darling Wife much on <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/000507.html">her day</a>. It isn't unusual for some reason to not be around much on her birthday but it still bothers me.<br />n<br />nI left the…

Question
Please don't think that I have no sympathy for the plight of the homeless in the US. But as we were driving around yesterday I kept seeing people standing at street corners with their signs one question continued to plague my mind. How are these people able to have a Sharpie and piece of cardboard…

Safety
Every industry has its safety requirements but <a href="http://www.thecouriermail.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,10300945%255E1702,00.html">this</a> is a little different. Occupational overuse syndrome? Sounds pretty severe to me. I personally think exploitation would be a better word. Even when legelized that's what it is for women.<br />n<br />n<b>Innocence is thought charming because it offers delightful possibilities for exploitation. Mason Cooley</b>

Loyalty

Smoke
Smoke, smoke everywhere but not a fire near me, at least that I'm aware of. The smoke rolled in here heavy yesterday and it still looks like it is hanging around this morning. I'm not sure where it is from but there is some fires in <a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/W/WESTERN_WILDFIRES?SITE=MTGRE&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT">Washington</a> that may account for the smoke.<br />n<br…

Lucky
The old superstition is a rabbits foot brings good luck. I never quite understood this since the poor rabbit didn't appear to be very lucky in this exchange. I might have to rethink the whole <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/wire/US/ap20040729_1684.html">rabbits</a> foot thing now. The only way this rabbit could have been luckier was to never have met the…

Conspiracy
I am not a big fan of conspiracy theories but I am begging to think there might be something to some of them. Yesterday afternoon while out checking water after preg checking the heifers I saw a helicopter flying towards me. We are off the beaten path and don't see many helicoptors so I watched…
