There’s growing consternation among people who
supported President Eisenhower because they thought he’d
lead an administration that would not only promote a more
effective approach to domestic and international problems, but
would do it sensibly and realistically, without taking the
United States farther into the quagmire of public debt. |

What's a redneck? That's the burning question we
must address this week. Is it a sunburned Caucasian in a cheap
shirt? Are there any black, yellow, brown, or red rednecks?
The question is too complex to concentrate only on the neck.
We must go higher to get to the bottom of this. |

Lady at a dance in the community center the other
night explained being late because she'd been grading papers
for her fourth grade substitute teacher job at Mertzon. She
said she announced the first day she wasn't going to teach
arithmetic as she didn't want to cause the class to lose
ground. The band played too loud to catch the full story. One
part hit, however, when she mentioned that fourth graders
study "improper fractions." I bet improper fractions
were what we had in the fifth grade so many years ago. |

Harry has a veterinary practice in rural
Connecticut, and like many of his professional colleagues,
enjoyed the company of a good dog to help pass the miles as he
made his daily rounds. For many years Fred, a Jack Russell
Terrier, was his co-pilot. Fred was a tough, scrappy little
dog ‘bout the size of a 10-pound subway sandwich. |

In some publications this column is run under the title
"Riding Herd," a throwback to when I fist started
writing. In one publication that runs my little essays under
that heading, the typesetter got real fancy with the graphics
so that the "h" in herd came out looking like a
small "n". So, to the unknowing observer it looked
like my column was called "Riding nerd." That
graphic artist probably never printed a truer word. |

Faron Young would be proud. "It's four in the
morning" and I've been awake for an hour. Maybe it's my
biological clock getting me in shape for spring turkey season,
which will be upon us in a week or two. Or maybe it's the
nervous energy (i.e., Zugunruhe) associated with spring
migration in birds. Or, most likely, it was all the iced tea I
drank at a late supper last evening. |

If you don’t have a computer, you don’t know how
great it is to share information with a lot of family and
friends fast. If I had to write notes or have photos made to
put in an envelope, I would never get it done. And the postage
would be exorbitant. But with my computer and E-mail, I can
get the news of my first great-grandchild sent to all my
family and friends in a few seconds. |
