All We Need’s More Rain
I was in Air Force Basic way back in 1960 when I read in the San Antonio paper about Texans trout fishing in Arkansas at a place called Gastin’s Resort on the White River. We had bought a place in Arkansas and planned to move there. So I stored that away and as my finances grew some in 1976, Pat and I went over there to stay at Stetson’s Resort. I recall having a good time and catching fish, however, Pat is not a boat person.

I am sure by now you’ve heard that the U.S. House of Representatives failed to pass the 2013 Farm Bill with a final vote announced as 195 to 234. The rejected farm bill comes after members were divided over food subsidies and food stamps.

Anyone who has known me longer than 32 years can attest to the fact that I now use much better grammar when I speak than I did in 1981. My writing has improved vastly, as well, from the time when I submitted the first draft of my dissertation one Friday afternoon only to have it returned to me the following Monday morning, covered in red marks. I can still hear my major professor, whom I admired immensely, saying as he handed the papers back to me, “Where in the hell did you go to school?”

All We Need’s More Rain
The wonder of an email came to the front last Sunday when a lady from Colorado sent me a message asking about my reference to riding polo ponies at Oak Brook as a boy. She too had ridden polo ponies there. I had to go way back to living in the Chicago suburbs when I was 12 years old. Back then I had a terrible thirst and desire to be a cowboy growing up.

Just this past week I read an online article posted on a local news channel’s website about an alpaca farmer in Rogersville, Mo., who shot a bear on his property. The article stated that the man’s herd dogs had the bear cornered. When the man heard the commotion he went outside, shotgun in hand, and saw that the bear was angry and pawing at his dogs. That’s when the farmer took matters into his own hands and shot the bear.
