Increase Can Be Bad And Good
Multiplying has its pros and cons. It’s the same as what some call the domino theory, when after setting a jillion dominoes in a slant formation, one is pushed to fall and all the others follow. That is the negative aspect of the equation, which we’ve been reminded about since the recent rains. But, there […]
Extra Effort Now Pays Later
“It’s easier just not to.” Life’s opportunities are often missed when we take the effortless way. Numerous times, a chance in a lifetime has gone to the wayside, because it didn’t have to be done, and more exertion and cost would be involved.
Appearance Only On The Outside
“Pretty is as pretty does.” We’ve trained several driving horses, but we’ve never had one exactly like we want. That is the color, looks, ability and disposition to pull a vehicle whenever we desired without any hassle.
Cool Temperatures Not Always Important
“We decided to stay home with the air conditioner instead.” That’s the response heard several times when we asked others why they weren’t at a horse show. Those who thought it was too hot will likely be the same ones who think it’s too cold when the thermometer drops to 32.
Heavy Throttle Not The Best Way
Ole Leadfoot sure is going slow. That’s the way it seems now as everybody passes us while we make a daily commute for our job. Traffic speed has far surpassed posted limits for some time. Increased number on signs since the first of July has expanded driver pace further.

“Don’t believe everything that’s in print.” “Just take it all with a grain of salt” is another way of looking at it. There are logical reasons to make those contentions.
Generally Best To Progress As Planned
“The show must go on.” Again, that old philosophy was followed when weather threatened cancellation of a cowboy concert for the ranch rodeo anniversary in our old hometown. Coordinators have often been forced to decide whether to cancel, postpone, delay or alter events due to inclement conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
Unique Is The Way It’s Supposed To Be
People watching must be our favorite pastime. So much of life these days seems to be “hurry up and wait.” Unless we’re talking on the cell phone, writing notes to our self or praying, we can’t figure out what else to do.
Sunday Really More Than Time To Rest
“He had a full house.” That’s apparently a big deal for card players, but we know nothing about the game. However, from what we can vaguely understand, there is a unique similarity between the terminology and our thought.
Childhood Experiences Have Lifelong Influence
Camp leaves a lifetime impression. One of the fondest memories of growing up is the four days we attended county camp at Rock Springs 4-H Center, southwest of Junction City. Those great recollections resurfaced Friday morning during a live radio broadcast from the lobby of the same dining hall we’d eaten at four-and-half decades ago.
