Headin’ for the Last Roundup
There is snow upon the ground as I write this, and it reminds me that winter is my favorite time to look back at what has been a wonderful life.
Life Is Simple
Bigfoot. Sasquatch. The Abominable Snowman. The Swamp Monster. The Loch Ness Monster. Down through the ages there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of reported sightings in various parts of the world concerning these creatures. Until last week, I never gave any of these any credence whatsoever.
Across the Ozarks
We got a dusting of snow, our bellies are full of turkey and colorful light displays are popping up all over the Ozarks. Ah, Christmastime is here. You know, I thought I had exhausted the thankful topic last issue, but as it turns out, I believe we all have a lot to be thankful for, all through this holiday season.

When I graduated from high school I was 5’9” and weighed 140 lbs. —soaking wet. Four years later, when I got out of college, I had shot upward to 6’1” and ballooned outward to a whopping 175 lbs.

The fashion industry is one of the biggest in the United States. In the way of fibers and textiles, believe it or not, the fashion industry has some true relation to, dare I say it, the agriculture industry. The fashion industry provides jobs for some 4.7 million persons. If you count those who spin, weave, dye, grow cotton or wool or work in the petroleum-based textile firms, to say nothing of transportation and retail.

I offer a few thankful thoughts to ponder as we approach the beginning of the holiday season.
