The word of the day comes in a purple box.  It is a crisp cookie coated in caramel, sprinkled with toasted coconut, and striped with dark chocolaty coating.  I know that some of you addicts knew what it was when you read purple box.

Yes, the word of the day is Samoas.  I was tickled when Tammy found a Girl Scout that was selling cookies.  I only bought 8 boxes.  I’m wishing that I would have bought more.  Especially since Duke found them.  I now don’t have as many as I used to.  If I ever name a buck Samoas, you will know that he is a great one.

We just finished the Ellis County Stock Show.  Just a premium sale left now.  Good feeling.  Always an honor to watch  a livestock legend such as the Tom Lamle judge stock.  No matter the species, Mr. Lamle can line them up.  I do have a fun memory of a county fair hog show with Lamle judging…but…you might need to buy the book.  Or just catch me in the right company.  I love that story.  Or ask Frank Powell.

Quote of the day:  With Trump building his wall, Mexican intelligence is building a trojan piñata.

Another quote of the day:  OPTIMISM IS GOING AFTER MOBY DICK IN A ROWBOAT AND TAKING TARTAR SAUCE WITH YOU.

I normally buy some items on the Okie Coalition sale but I didn’t get to a computer until it was done.  Looks like that sale went well.  Good deal.  Plan on bringing $20 bucks to the OYE goat shows.  There is some dang good stuff that will be in a drawing for button purchasers.  DANG good stuff, I tell ya!
