"Developments of the past week or
so give a man plenty to talk about whether he
knows anything intelligent to say about them or
not," said John. "Some of them are
encouraging, some ironical, and some downright
amazing." |

Wharton, Texas. It's been a week now
since the great flood of '98. The national news
media covered us for days. There were shots of
two cows on the roof of a house, the governor
flying over in a helicopter, and people wading
out of their homes in waist-deep water. Where are
they now when we started the clean-up, not to
mention the rodeo that occurred when the water
receded and they tried to get those cows down? |

After the poetry festival ended, a
major toll road called the Garden State Parkway
routed me all the way down to Cape May in the
southeast corner of New Jersey, against Delaware
Bay and the Atlantic Coast. Unlike driving in the
Southwest, cruising along in the slow lane at 65
miles an hour, New England states don't last
long. About the same amount of time, in fact, a
fast driver takes to cross a county in New
Mexico. |

On The Edge Of

You would think professional sports
would be the last thing animal rights loonies
would be concerned about. After all, it's only
about abusing humans. Although they might have
objections to the use of animals for team names,
such as the Cardinals, the Cubs, the Porpoises or
the Cowboys. |

Deer hunting season just concluded in my
neck of the woods so it MAY be safe to go outside
once again. I say "may" because of the
exploits this season of a crazy friend of mine. |

The most disturbing phone call at this
time of year is the one from a distressed mare
owner who just found out that a mare slipped her
foal. Searching for answers, they invariably make
the comment, "Perhaps I should put my mare
on progesterone next year to help her through her
pregnancy." |
