Thoughts From The Middle of Nowhere

Just a Dumb Ranchers Wonderings

  • Report Card

    There was an interesting article in the Gazette yesterday about <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/01/10/build/wyoming/50-fgrade.inc">Wyoming gets F for gun safety</a>. I don't know but <a href="http://www.bradycampaign.org">this organization </a>sure seems like an anti-gun movement cloaked in a doing it to save the children campaign. I got real curious though about how Montana scored on this report card.<br />n<!–more–><br />n<i>Montana…

  • Complaint Answered

    I have had a complaint on something I said in one of my posts that I wanted to answer. If you will remember about a week ago in my <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/000064.html#more">When it Rains it Pours</a> post I made the following statement. <br />n<br />n<i>I sometimes wonder what a person is to do with there stubborn…

  • Montana Blogger Bash

    I see that the <a href="http://www.secularfranciscans.net/blogger_bash.htm">Montana Blogger Bash </a>is a week away. As much as I would like to attend this event, for family reasons I will be unable to attend. I send my regrets to all Montana Bloggers and in particular to <a href="http://www.mtpolitics.net/">Craig</a> and <a href="http://www.secularfranciscans.net/sfo_life/">Randy</a> who went to so much work to…

  • Smart Idea

    Sometimes I read something that strikes me as so obvious that it needs to go without saying. This item ranks right up there at the top of this category. <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/01/10/build/nation/80-priority-ammo.inc">Fighting units get priority for ammo.</a> Whether you agree with our commitments in Afghanistan and Iraqi or not, you have to admit that suppling troops…

  • Loony

    It is reported that the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?tl=1&display=rednews/2004/01/08/build/nation/35-bushspace.inc">President is going to propose a bold new mission to set up a permanent colony on the moon and to land Americans on Mars</a>. Now the first question I have to ask myself is why are we going to spend the taxpayers money on this right now. Well as…

  • Hold It

    I am sure glad I don't fly much anymore. Right now the <a href="http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-airline-security,0,3839567.story?coll=sns-ap-nationworld-headlines">TSA discourages lavatory use on airlines</a>. Pretty soon they will just want to take them out all together. Then what will they do. Issue bottle to everyone to use. Would work ok for the men but what are the women supposed to…

  • Duh?

    I would have to say that this doesn't take rocket science to figure out. <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/01/08/build/wyoming/30-elkherddecline.inc">Elk herd in Yellowstone Park on the decline.</a> Introduce a large predator base, such as wolves, and the elk start mysteriously disappearing. Like I said doesn't take rocket science.<br />n<br />n<b>The truth is, the Science of Nature has been already…

  • Trade War

    Well it looks like the U.S. might be going to get itself into another trade war. <a href="http://www.economist.com/agenda/displayStory.cfm?story_id=2296891">This article in the Economist</a> magazine explains it real well. It seems that one of the little known provisions of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is the so-called &acirc;

  • Grass Fed Beef

    I run across <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/usatoday/20040106/cm_usatoday/raisecattlenaturallysafelyonopenrange">this editorial </a>by someone who lives in Montana but attacks the beef industry in favor of her bison industry. Attacking your neighbors industry for your own personal profit is not necessary in this whole <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym> debate but this appears to be what she is doing using &acirc;

  • Another Mars Picture

    Yea I know this whole mission appears to be a waste of money and I'm sure it is. Might as well enjoy the pictures that we are getting. This picture is in color.<br />n<br />n<img src="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/Marscolor.jpg"> <br />n<br />n<b>Exploration is really the essence of the human spirit. Frank Borman</b>
