His saddle is second most important to a cowboy, right after his horse.
Not as specific about design as some, and we don’t wear one out every two years like a few, but the tack room houses a half-dozen saddles that have truly seen their better day.

‘New’ Saddle Still Really Just Second-Best Gift
His saddle is second most important to a cowboy, right after his horse.
Not as specific about design as some, and we don’t wear one out every two years like a few, but the tack room houses a half-dozen saddles that have truly seen their better day.
Control Necessary Now For Menacing Ticks On Horses And Handlers
Honking Geese Have Better Common Sense
Those “V” formations in the sky are a sight to behold.
Geese are flying south for the winter, and there certainly have been many of the big, beautiful honkers in the skyways during recent days. “Goose music,” their faint honking spilling down from the skies in the late afternoon, forecasts their presence. They’ve frequently landed to rest and feed in several of our ponds.
Tobacco Habits Thrive Despite Abundant Cautions
“No smoking in public places.”
Thankfully, that has become regulation in many communities. It has always been a controversial issue and has required voting to become law. Slowly but surely, right is winning out, as more cities have approved rules forbidding people to smoke in public.
Unappreciated Abundance Must Be Distributed
“Don’t complain about the price of food with your mouth full.”
We’ve never been hungry. Oh, like most, we’ve complained when we missed a meal, were late for supper, or fasted for a few days. Yet, we’ve really always had plenty to eat.
Economic Remedies Lie Neither In Wiseness Nor Work
Money is scary.
What’s happening to investments makes one cringe, if an attempt is made to understand it. With our naivete, we never could comprehend how stock markets worked completely, despite taking several economics courses. It didn’t bother much, though, because we never really had enough to affect us any to speak of.
Politicians Still Morally Wrong
Don’t believe anything you hear.
Lying is commonplace, and now it is evidently even being encouraged. Aftermath of the recent election revealed that much ridicule and many of the promises, claims and counter-claims were lies. However, that’s all fine and dandy, according to man-made rules. Be a politician, say whatever you want (true or false), and the laws don’t apply.
Game Birds Remain As Seasons Change
Upland game bird seasons bring back childhood memories.
It wasn’t quite the burning desire of having a horse, but hunting was right up with fishing in our anticipation of activity as a youngster. Because (TV) cowboys always had a gun on their hip, that was our style, as well. We’d seldom be seen without a pistol
and holster strapped on and drawstring tied tight. We had several play rifles, too.
Heavy Loads Are No Real Concern
Backpacks are for soldiers, Boy Scouts and hikers.
Well, that’s the way it used to be, anyway. Nowadays, every student, so it seems, from sandpile through doctoral candidate, has a backpack.
