Power Of Water Frequently Overlooked
Nothing on earth is more important than water. It is truly the most essential element of mankind. Everything we can think of depends on water in one form or another for survival. Yet, water is one of the most discussed, cussed, debated and frequently under appreciated, even criticized, nutrients, commodities, compounds, chemicals (yes, it is […]
More Respect Would Make Better World
Respect is perhaps one of the most important words of action there is. Yet, disrespect might be a more common description of a large part of society today. We’ve talked about rudeness before, and respect is just the opposite of that.
Six Days To Do The Manual Labor
Sunday is supposed to be the day of rest. That seems to be have been forgotten by many. As we were growing up, our grocery store and every other business in town was closed on Sunday. Stores stayed open late Saturday night, it was farmers’ shopping day, but Sunday morning Main Street was bare.
Maybe All Cowboys Don’t Ride Horses
All we’ve ever wanted to be is a cowboy. Actually, lots of folks want to be cowboys. Many people even think they are cowboys, but are they really? Before we ever got a horse 48 years ago, we thought we were a cowboy, because we always wore boots, jeans, a snap-up, yoked cowboy shirt and […]

Respectable Clothing Really Is All That Important
It sure is a sloppy dressing world we live in. That might seem like a rude statement, and many people probably consider it an unimportant subject. They might say something like: “What difference does it make what I wear? It’s my life. I can do anything I want to do.” Be it home, shopping, ball […]
Recovering The Lost Brings Jubilation
Pipes are for smokin’ not growin’. That might seem like a funny line for a cowboy who never smoked a pipe or considered doing so. Yet, it is a statement we were reminded of last week under what would initially appear to be quite unrelated circumstances.
Natural Hair Color Change Really Is For The Good
Gray hair is better than no hair. Bald folks don’t have to comb hair, so maybe there is an advantage. Seemingly, it’d be preferable to be a bald male than a bald female, but that’s what wigs are for anyway.
Sneezing In The Morning Sun Brings A New Day
“Atchoo. Atchoo.” “God bless you.” Not a day goes by that somebody we’re around doesn’t sneeze. Invariably, another in hearing distance responds with the rhyming well-wishing. We’ve been on both sides of the fence, so to speak, more often sneezing, but also making response to another’s action.
Even Bed Bugs Must Have Their Place
“Don’t let the bed bugs bite.” That was often the goodnight message Dad gave us before we went to bed as we were growing up. We really don’t know where the warning originated. Maybe his Mom told him that at bedtime, too. Perhaps it’s a common saying of parents to their family before settling down […]
