Rick said he was attempting to drive a braymer cross cow to the corral. It was hot that spring in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. He’d pushed the ol’ darlin’ within half a mile of the pen when she sulled up and got on the fight. In a moment of brilliance…he roped her. She kept chargin’ but he held his dally ‘til they came to a standstill.

“I had no idea what for,” he said at the time, “but the chief stipe Bill Fanning said ‘I should fine you for not giving a wave after that win’.”

Flynt was just commenting the other day about how times sure did get away from us while you were here. All of a sudden we looked up and 6 weeks and 5 days had just whizzed by. We were sure sorry to see you go but since our livestock was about depleted and a good portion of our standing structures leveled I guess it was as good a time as any. Oh, by the way, the folks from the car rental place came by and picked up the Lincoln and were kind enough to set us up on a monthly payment plan until the $6300 in mileage and damages were paid off.

How about the old days of chopping weeds in the row crops? I remember the Bracero Program along the Mexican border where workers legally came into the U.S. to chop weeds, hand plant and harvest crops. The U.S. government stopped the program because it was supposedly taking work from able-bodied Americans. The very next year every cotton farmer in the Rio Grande Valley had bought a McCormick cotton picking machine. Now we spray for weeds or use genetically modified crops that resist insects, weeds and disease. When I was a lad we milked one cow. It supplied butter and milk for our family. Most farmers kept 5-10 milk cows. It took an hour or two every morning. It was the longest part of “doing the chores.” Farmers sold their milk and cream or traded it for goods. Even today in highly automated dairies milking thousands of cows, it is still an intensive, hands-on part of agriculture. The only thing they don’t have to do is milk them!

Forward Disco Holiday Party | Sean Cormac & Chili Davis, Alan Morehouse, + More TBA – Cielo December 16, 2017 – New York

An exceptional ensemble of performers—including Ailyn Pérez, Nadine Sierra, Isabel Leonard, Luca Pisaroni, Mariusz Kwiecien, and Ildar Abdrazakov—share the stage in Mozart’s comic yet profound look at human nature and one crazy day in a wealthy Spanish household. Acclaimed Mozartean maestro Harry Bicket conducts Richard Eyre’s high-spirited production.

Neither opponent had a shot. Even for a player of Charlton’s ability it was an amazing effort. Born in Merewether, Charlton learned to play at his grandfather’s billiards club at Swansea.

 He was a regular for the next six years, playing 204 matches, and was captain of the club when it won promotion to fi rst division. 

 As well as Palmer, Woods and Nicklaus, Flanagan joined players such as Lanny Wadkins, Craig Stadler, Jerry Pate, Mark O’Meara, Justin Leonard and Phil Mickelson, all major winners, on the champions list.

It is no small thing to be a part of and every time it happens, it renews us. The miracle never diminishes. As urbanization inexorably isolates people from the land, fewer and fewer humans are able to participate in this ancient experience. It is our loss.
