On The Edge Of
Common Sense
They weren't in the habit of raisin'
wild cattle in that part of Michigan, so the
fences aren't that high. But when the heifer
cruised into the sale ring like a shark in the
kiddie pool, everybody knew they might not be
high enough. |

Pokin' Fun
It happened in a swank, downtown
hotel, so they say, in Ft. Worth. Cowtown —
that magical, mystical mirage that has titillated
the senses of princes and paupers alike. |

One of my sons up north over the
wire quoted a passage from Andy Adams' Log Of
A Cowboy, the old trail driver's book:
"Most of us weren't cowboys, but were ranch
hands. One of the things we have in common, we
always write or tell about the bad times and
leave out how much fun we had." |

Wildlife
By Design
Conventional wisdom holds that
"even a blind hog finds an acorn
occasionally." As implicit as luck may be to
success, most would also agree that luck often
resides at the intersection of Opportunity and
Preparation streets. |

As
I See It ...
Signs. Portents. Auguries. Old saws.
Omens. Superstitions. Maybe I've just been
hanging out with the wrong crowd or something,
but it seems that in the last 20 years or so, I
seldom have heard references to the old common
folklore superstitions. |
