I like quotes.  They capture a snapshot of a person.  One bad quote can absolutely ruin a person.  Just ask that LA clippers moron.  The racist part is obvious. Why are we not more upset that this 80 year old dipshit gave his MISTRESS, yes, the chick that is NOT his wife, permission to sleep with any “black people”  as long as she isn’t seen or photographed with them?  Our society is so,

      It was a very nice evening in this part of the world.  The wind wasn’t howling like a gutshot comanche on a black & white western movie.  It was still dry, but at least the wind wasn’t kicking the dog out of every living being–plant or animal.  But, it looks like the wind machine is going to fire back up next week along with the thermostat turned up.        I’ve

     I’m still not sure.  But I can list you the lowlights real quick.  Here’s the bad. –WIND!    Jeeminy, holy, pick a lot of 4 letter words.  This crap is unreal.  I’m 43 years old and have lived in NW OK, SW KS and the TX panhandle all of my life (except for 4 GLORIOUS YEARS living in Stillwater, OK) and I have not experienced the absolutely BRUTAL, RELENTLESS, SHITTY wind that we

Watch the video link.  Fighting Hunger…Feeding Hope.   If it won’t open from here, cut and paste it into your browser and it will go.         This turned out to be a neat deal.  Britt Taylor was actually the first one in Shattuck to say “I’m donating my pigs to the Diamond Hats for the food bank.”  Then it kind of starting snowballing and a pile of Shattuck kids donated their animals

      It’s been a little bit wild around here for several days.  We were invited to sell a couple of doe kids in the inaugral Diva’s doe sale.  That deal was good.  The sheep crowd was way good.  Throw in a bunch of crazy goat people and that was a good sale.  All of the does sold very well.  I am tickeld where my does ended up.  I hope to sell there again.

      Still waiting on 4 does to kid that are due within the past 3 days.  No changes on this Friday.   It was a Friday at the store.  But now, it is the weekend.  Duke has cleaned a part of a barn out for me.  His screw ups make for cheap (free) labor. Tammy didn’t have anything for supper tonight, so she and I cruised over to Charlie’s.  Hadn’t been there in

      I hope everybody’s evening was as lovely as it was here south of Fargo.  NO WIND.  Can’t believe it.  The wind blew like it had something to prove yesterday, last night and most of today.  But this evening, dang nice.  We just needed some moisture.          It is becoming very obvious that I am going to have a pile of Rainman daughters for sale this year.  We are nearing

      Dominant genes are a basic part of animal breeding.  Polled vs. horned, Red vs. black.  stress positive vs negative.  On and on.  Here’s what’s got me thinking about dominant vs recessive genes.  Black headed goats.        I had a set of triplets born this evening that are all black headed.  Momma is a Freak On A Leash on a Starbuck.  She was the only black headed Freak On A Leash

     I catch a lot of crap for buying “green” ones.  Greenies.  Gruene (I like that place).  John Deere green.  Dollars are green.  Green grass, wheat, oats, alfalfa, etc.  Basically, green is a pretty good color.  I also like watching Mike & Mike on espn.  Greenie & Golic.  Well, anyways, back to the point.  I have been known to buy a green goat or two.  When I say “green”, I mean an animal that

      More than any other holiday, I feel that a huge percentage of our society has lost touch with the true meaning of Easter.  We have OVER-commercialized every holiday.  But Easter is at the top of the over-commercialized list.  Think about it–the cadbury cream egg, rabbits, colored chicks, Easter dresses and shirts, hunting Easter eggs, Easter egg baskets, chocolate rabbits, the Easter bunny, Easter meals, etc, etc, etc.         No
