He was talking on and on about how his uncle’s cousin’s wife’s parents had a little ranch somewhere. He was telling a story about a horse and gathering some cows and tying to get all the terminology right. He was laying out a line of bull that was deep enough to break out the 5 […]

Ever see those window stickers on a big 4WD truck that says ‘Silly Boys, Trucks are for Girls’? Well, I’ve seen a handful in my day. I have had many people tell me I should slap one on my truck and I, tactfully as possible, told them, no thank you, those are corny. I have […]
