Just a Dumb Ranchers Wonderings

Appropriate
While I might personally think that the low-slung pants craze is extremely stupid, <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/pants_too_low">Making them illegal</a> seems to be going a bit far to me. We let legislators do something like this and pretty soon they will be passing laws on how we can cut our hair or some other such thing.<br />n<br />n<b>The…

Work
I had a friend e-mail me today and wonder about me posting at 04:16 am when I had mentioned that Sundays I slept in. That only occurs if nothing else is going on. This morning, early, I Had some neighbors come over and we branded a little bunch of calves. I had 110 to do…

Mosquitos
Note to self after seeing <a href="http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/W/WEST_NILE?SITE=MTGRE&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT">this</a> story, get West Nile vaccine for horses. I haven't seen any mosquitos yet but it is better to be safe than sorry. Good horses are way too expensive to lose one when there is a vaccine that hopefully prevents the problem.<br />n<br />n<b>Failing to plan is planning to…

Bombs
Google bombs have been around for a while now but this morning I stumbled on to another one. For those that don't know, google bombs are a way of manipulating search results on the Internet to get a certain site to pop up. Probably the most famous one I have heard of is to type…

Trial
Justice is not only blind, <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/20040423/bs_nm/food_tyson_ruling_dc">it can obviously be bought too</a>. You have a trail by jury, the jury finds against the defendant, so the judge throws the whole thing out since the jury is too stupid to know better. The system fails yet again.<br />n<br />n<b>If you want divine justice, die. Nick Seldon</b>

Reward
Our Congressmen, Democrats and Republicans alike, have voted to reward our guard and reserve soldiers that are serving overseas. What is this reward you may ask for their service to our country. <a href="http://rockymountainnews.com/drmn/state/article/0,1299,DRMN_21_2827703,00.html">They can now withdraw funds</a> from their personal IRAs and pension plans and they won't have to pay the 10% penalty for…

Crappy Service
Do you know what I hate almost as much as running out of chocolate? Crappy Customer Service. I went into Target and had a very rude lady "help" me try to find a coffee grinder. I was informed that they were moving the shelves around and weren't sure where things were. She went and looked…

Conspiracy
I am not a big believer in conspiracy theories. It's just not in my nature. Having said that, I told My Darling Wife when the US first invaded Iraq to look at a map and tell me what the President's ultimate goal was considering we all ready had troops in Afghanistan. If you don't know,…

Happily Disgusted
I know. Be happy with what you got. Don't get me wrong I am. I got about 1/4 inch of rain out of the showers yesterday and it changed my mood dramatically. It's pretty sad though when such a small amount of rain brings such a large amount of relief to not only me but…

Disposable Cars
I can remember when a person repaired a TV or a VCR instead of replacing it was cheaper. Today it is the other way around and these items are a disposable item. Cheaper to replace than repair. Well it appears that <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0419/p13s02-wmgn.html">automobiles</a> are now going in the same direction. The article talks about how…
