Recently someone said my use of a real deer tail was disrespectful. When one of our bucks dies he is buried with his rack, some would cut it off and bury him naked, I don't, I feel it is disrespectful to his honor. When we find "shed" antlers we save them, as a sign of respect and remembrance. I have a tuft of Lexx's fur in my "medicine bag", I ( Read more... )

I lost the election by a few votes and now am out of politics, a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders, I still care about the town and it's people, but I am no longer responsible for it. In the end I will be remembered for the City wide clean-up, upgrading the City computer system, renovating the City water plant, creating a troubled ( Read more... )

Yeah, Happy Birthday to me, again. I never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd survive so long, I even bought a copper bracelet for my arthritis, (I'll try anything) and it seems to work, at least on my right wrist, I guess I'd have to wear one on all limbs and around my neck to feel the full effect. ;)

I suppose I ought to at least check in occasionally, let you all know I'm still alive, fact is I've been very busy. I've taken on a number of responsibilities that demand most of my time, I don't have much free time for myself, and basically live for my work.

It's interesting with all the electric motors, pumps, separators, and plumbing, it's a mechanical fans delight. What I do is go to oil leases and check the operation of the pump jacks, oil the stuffing box and be sure the ( Read more... )

One of my favorite TV shows from the 60s was "Then came Bronson" about a guy, (Micheal Parks) who drove around the country on a Harley Sportster, working odd jobs, meeting different people and helping them cope with their problems ( Read more... )

I saw "Big Red" run and break his maiden at Aqueduct Race Track in NY back in 1972, I still get goose bumps watching the video. A truly exceptional and beautiful horse.

I recently enacted a City Ordinance that requires people to control their animals, mostly free roaming dogs. The City hasn't had any control for years and the problem is very serious. I contracted an outside agency to do the work and had hoped that offenders would have just complied ( Read more... )

I never heard about this before, it should have been a major news item.
