First day of Christmas break! \u00a0Nope. \u00a0We had school till noon. \u00a0Then I met up with a herd of kids and worked sheep and goats. \u00a0Kelly clipped wether goats, 13 toothed sheep, wormed and trimmed hooves on all. \u00a0Scales are free, so let’s catch a weight on all.<\/p>\n
Then home to do chores, then back to Shattuck to make wurst. \u00a0Three generations working together. \u00a0The beef was wicked high quality, the pork was scary good (not just your old leftover pork shoulder roast).<\/p>\n
What did I eat for supper? \u00a0Not wurst. \u00a0Got home late and nobody wanted to cook, so I ate some chex mix and a couple of meat sticks that I bought from Elliott Milligan back in September. \u00a0I don’t know who makes them but they are wicked good.<\/p>\n
I find myself reminiscing about the early 80s. \u00a0Remember the Earl Campbell commercials. \u00a0The commercials that would now be illegal. \u00a0Skoal. \u00a0Dude, just a pinch between your cheek and gum. “Skoal brotha.”<\/p>\n
First off, I ain’t had any Skoal since the early 80s. \u00a0Second, how good was the marketing campaign when some dude can remember specifics about a given product. \u00a0Next, how is this even still a product knowing now what we know about tobacco products. \u00a0\u00a0And how stereotypical or racist was that commercial?<\/p>\n
It wasn’t. \u00a0A specific product was offered. \u00a0Parties agreed to terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
