They are finally seeing what they have wrought!

Here is the tag line.

“Environmentalists, to their surprise, found that timber and mining were easier on the countryside,” reports Karl Vick of the Post.

Imagine that.

Unlike many people who live in this country, I have a piece of paper that proves I am an American. Seeing as I was born in Switzerland and came to this country at the tender age of 11 months, my parents had me naturalized. So yes, I have a paper that says I am an American citizen. It’s one of my most prized possessions. Many people in the world wish they were so lucky!

Isn’t it wonderful to be in the great country in the world? May God continue to bless us all!

Goin’ on around here. We went and got Gabe the other day so I been stickin’ pretty close to the house. Maybe after his nap today we will go out and do some stuff.

Had one of my yearling guys and his father come and look at their cattle yesterday. Seemed to think we had plenty of feed for them. That’s a good thing, Martha.

What is it that makes us call someone friend? 

Does it have anything to do with the length of time we have known them or how often we are around them? Or is more of a kindred spirit kind of thing?

Terry Brown was a friend. He ordered a saddle from me several years ago and we have stayed in touch ever since. I invited him to join a board where a bunch of cowboys, buckaroo’s and those who like them, choose to visit via the internet. He joined and always added much to any discussion, whether serious or just poking fun at each other and at our selves. 

From what Terry wrote on there, I got to know him well. And we talked on the phone at least every couple months. He was a very patriotic American and strong in his views and beliefs. We tried to make a deal for him to bring some cattle up here and sell them as the prices weren’t as good in Texas where he lived as they were up north in South Dakota. It never happened as prices for his cattle rose down south and fuel kept going up. We both regretted not getting the chance to shake hands and get to visit face to fazce. But we were still friends. 

His sister in law called me this morning to tell me he had been killed in an auto accident on Saturday. You could have knocked me over with a feather.

I am amazed at the feelings of sadness over this loss of a person who I knew, yet had never met face to face. I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but I do know this is a sharp reminder to see and visit with my other friends and loved ones.

Life is short. Say what needs to be said and see those who will one day be gone and you will curse because they left a hole in your life.

So long Terry. Hope your ridin’ a good horse in tall grass with your beloved Longhorn cattle around you. Hopefully I will see you down the trail someday. You were truly a man!

Or any of the rest of you who want to laugh.
