I’ve never had a desire to be a full-time farmer…..till now.\u00a0 \u00a0I now understand how those notherners that farm full-time with no livestock make it through the days during the winter months.\u00a0 They all have a big ass, well insulated, heated shop.\u00a0 They weld, tinker and work on equipment during the day, all while drinking.\u00a0 No stock to worry about birthing, dying, waterering, doctoring or feeding.\u00a0 Make sure the generator has gas and the well has a heat lamp.\u00a0 And that there is either a clear path, through the snow, back to the house.\u00a0 That, or a cot in that big-ass, heated shop.<\/p>\n
Cheers to those in northern tier states that raise livestock.\u00a0 I’ve written it before but congrats on your dedication.<\/p>\n
In the next day or so, we will start dealing with some first-world kind of problems.\u00a0 Like hooking a generator up to the solar wells in order to fill cattle tanks.\u00a0 Once again, your president and his cohort ass-clowns can take their anti-fossil fuel agendas and put them where their heads are already located–directly up somebody else’s ass.\u00a0 \u00a0At this juncture in time, a developed nation cannot operate without the use of fossil fuels of some sort.\u00a0 Sure, we need to be cleaner and more efficient.\u00a0 But, there has to be a reality check.\u00a0 Yes, we need to be looking for alternatives fuel sources.<\/p>\n
Decades ago, on a misty Saturday morning, I stopped in to the Waynoka CooP.\u00a0 There was a group of guys there.\u00a0 One particular cowboy was in the midst of the coffee drinkers.\u00a0 He always had a way with words.\u00a0 Somebody asked him if he was back in good graces with his wife.\u00a0 I will never forget his reply.\u00a0 The reply had no profanity yet, one might not want a young un to read the following.<\/p>\n
“I would say that the only way that I was to enter human flesh is if I was to stick my own thumb, up my own ass.”<\/p>\n
And that is how I think of the current weather conditions as well as the clown show in the 20003 zip code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
