Just a Dumb Ranchers Wonderings

Injury
Reading <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3735897.stm">this</a> article really makes me wonder. What would my personality have been like if I hadn't been knocked totally unconcious 4 times in various accidents while I was growing up? Or did it affect me at all? They talk about seeing a doctor but only one of the times, when there were pickup…

Power
The enviromentilists have been on the global warming bandwagon for a long time and are doing every thing they can to stifle progress in their zeal to cut CO2 emmissions. I have always had a question for them. Why if you are so worried about CO2 emmissions do you so oppose the one form of…

Gay Marriage
Is <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20040522/ap_on_re_us/gay_marriage_lawsuit">this</a> why people wanted same sex unions? I thought it was so gay couples could bond in a union that was previously denied to them. This makes it sound like the only reason they got married was for the extra money they could sue the doctors for. Not a very good plug for…

Branding II
Just a quick note. We got them done and nobody got hurt. That's something that is real important to me. Safety of all involved. Had a hell of a good crew and we were done by 11:30 AM. There was one gal there that I hadn't seen in 25 years. Nice to see your neighbors…

Branding
Well, I'm branding my big bunch today. We'll have to leave the house here at 3:45 AM to get to where we need to be by daylight. Neighbors will all be over to help plus I hired a few more wrestlers. If everybody shows that says they are, I should have a hell of a…

We’ll See
I will have to see it to believe it, but if <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38605">this</a> is true it wouyld be great. Trying to buy clothes for a young girl is immpossible unless you are willing to have them parade around half naked. My Darling Wife calls it the HIT (Hooker in Training) look. <br />n<br />n<b>I believe…

Hay
Lots of different items of interest today. First thing that caught my eye was the article on the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/05/20/build/state/45-drought.inc">drought</a> in the Gazette. It's one of those things that I don't need to read articles about the drought since I am dealing with it on a daily basis, but I can't stop myself. It's kind…

Wandering Bull
Bulls on a ranch can be a pain in the ass. Monday evening I got a call from one of my neighbors that they had found a bull of ours with thier cows and had drove it home and put it in my good corral. So yesterday mornig I was going to bring the bull…

Fatal Test
My children, like most kids, are really sick of going to school right now. I was quizzing the youngest girl on her math facts yesterday and she wasn't doing very well. She hates math. She always says it's going to kill her and I inform her that math won't kill her. After seiing <a href="http://education.independent.co.uk/news/story.jsp?story=522671">this</a>…
