Get ready, sports fans. This news could start a
national trend. Everybody knows about baseball and beer, but
have you heard about beer baseball? |

During the Depression years of the thirties and
into the next decade, ranch wives were identified by their
baking skills. "Miss Myrtle," they’d say,
"can shore bake cornbread, but her biscuits would sink a
trotline to the bottom of the creek." Or, "I’ll
swear, ‘Miss Ruby’ makes the lightest biscuits, but when
we were helping shear out there, the hound dogs wouldn’t eat
her cornbread." |

Common Sense
By the way of introduction, let me say that I,
Pancho Villa de Perro Valiente, am the new head of Ranch
Security at the Black Rancho on Red Chile Road. I come from a
long line of Australian Shepherd cowdogs and I am assisted by
Hattie, hoof-eater and Blue Heeler cross. |

I'm not throwing any rocks at Regis, but there's
something wrong when the host of "Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire" makes 1000 times more per week than the
average working man in this country. If my math is correct,
his $35 million yearly salary comes to $673,000 per week. The
average working man makes $672. |

Matters of...Equine
Whether we are faced with early weaning, or foals that
have been orphaned by a natural disaster, the effects have
similar repercussions. Over the years we have done extensive
research on early weaning. During this time we have been
unfortunate in that we have been presented with several
orphans by virtue of losing a mother during or soon after
birth. |

The good news is it’s raining here in Callahan
County. The bad news is it’s not raining everywhere it is
needed. Maybe this will move into Colorado and Arizona and
help with the fires. If lightning will let you log onto your
computer, now is a good time to get smarter about making money
in agriculture. If you don’t own a computer, maybe this will
help you see how one can increase your wealth. |

Palabras
As a dozen members of my family gathered ‘round this past
July 4th, I asked my dad to say the blessing and he
suggested that we say the Pledge of Allegiance instead. So, in
unison, we spoke in strong voices those words each of us has
said since we were in kindergarten. I had been planning to
write about justice before that celebration, but his request
reinforced my goal. |
