"It makes me kind of sad,"
said John, "to read about this bunch of
cowmen stampeding up to Washington and jumping
Secretary Benson out because they’re in a
financial jam. Every paper in the country is full
of their howls. Politicians from here to yonder
are bawling crocodile tears in sympathy, trying
to stir up enough votes for another term or a
higher office. |

Pokin' Fun
Talked to a fellow from Frisk on the
phone ... Texas, not California. He said,
"You know, it's gonna be a bad day when you
have this nightmare that you are standing at the
Pearly Gates behind Mother Teresa and St. Peter
says to her, "Well, let me think about
letting you in; you could have done better, you
know." |

Prior to the trip to New Jersey, my
exposure to poetry had been limited to the times
at workshops when writers take parts of poems,
demonstrating the rhythm in our language. |

On The Edge Of
Common Sense
In the Hall of Fame of ranch cooks
there's a name you'll never hear. We had him at
the Bar V for a while. In truth, I guess, he
could have made the Ten Most Wanted list 'Cause
poisonin' cowboys really was his style. |

There's a 14-inch clay flower pot
on my porch. In it today are a tall dusty miller,
some straggly verbena, a couple of leggy geranium
plants and a discarded snakeskin. |

Last week I offered my perceptions about
deer managers’ current infatuation with deer
genetics. One only has to look at the growing
number of high fences to realize how popular, and
eventually far-reaching, the implications for
such management are. |

Computer& The Cowboy
Laptop computers make a lot of sense
when you are traveling. The heat this summer was
enough to make us seriously consider becoming
Yankees, so when we had the opportunity to attend
one of my wife’s professional meetings in
Banff, Canada, we signed on early. |
