Choice gleanings

"Well, I'll be doggoned," said
John, "here comes old man Jackengame from
down on Devil's River. I've known that old cuss
40 years. We always called him Highlow. Hey,
High, come over here, you old javalina!" |

Pokin' Fun
Did you ever look at adult people
and wonder what they looked like as a kid? Some
kids are born homely; others have it slip up on
them shortly thereafter. I'm convinced that it's
better to be born with a lack of looks than to
develop it. |

Shortgrass Country
July is the worst month to send
postcards. Shortgrass citizens of any substance
at all flee to the cooler climates. Mail ends up
unread in pasteboard boxes collected by the
neighbors, or on hold down in the musty chambers
of the post office. |

On The Edge Of
Common Sense
I am a keen observer of on-air TV
and radio personalities, rambling professors, and
occasional practicing politicians who are forced,
on a regular basis, to fill dead air. |

PINON, N.M. — First there were
five, then six. Now we have seven dogs here at
the ranch at Piñon, all ostensibly under my
direction. |

t seems to me that America is moving
indoors.
New homes come complete with barbecue pits on the
inside now. If we want to know the weather we
turn on the television to hear some weatherman
who is 3000 miles away describe it for us,
instead of just poking our head out the door. |

Wildlife
By Design
I often use the metaphor of a
camouflaged cowboy hat to illustrate the
perspectives a rancher needs when trying to
balance wildlife and livestock needs. It's a
proper thinking cap when evaluating the relative
and absolute value of some range homonyms. |
