Re: disgruntled tax payer

Hey Banksy, I resemble that remark... :lol: Yeah, sometimes it's tough to criticize without stepping on anyone's toes...Specially if you're a nice guy ..like me... I do, however stand by one observation. While i agree that it is a good thing to do this for the kids, I also still believe that If some...

Re: disgruntled tax payer

I have read the response from the teacher.. On the surface it seems pretty benign and may be just what he says it is. I have no personal knowledge of either this gentleman or his intentions. Now, for a few of my impressions.. If in fact future events unfold like he asserts, that is, there will be th...

Re: Memories of yesteryear

I hate to cast dispersion on someone that I am not 100% sure of, but if it is the Mike Rhodes i am thinking of, he would show up occasionally at our place across the bridge in Ironsvville and have a cup of coffee and maybe a sandwich, and perhaps read the paper..Until my Dad came home from work one ...

Like the huge conglomerations that now make up most of the farming across this nation, trucking companies would welcome the chance to do the same thing in this industry.

Re: disgruntled tax payer

I have to agree, in principle, with Banksy. All that he mentioned is correct.. It will, or would be interesting, if the same effort will/would be made for McCain... Regardless of the intentions, the outcome is that public funds were used for this, and I can assure you that there are people who do no...

Re: Tyrone lost a good man

I see by the newspaper account that Mr. Blaska was my age. Very sad to lose someone at any age, but it seems like this man had a lot of people who cared for and about him. I wish that I had known him...And, I add my condolences to everyone who loved this man.
God Bless him and his family.

The Old Man And The Hound

I had to put down my dog of 12 years recently and I did it myself. He was just so old and sick. But I really loved the little guy and it affected me more than I thought it would. So, I sat down tonight and wrote this. Please forgive the errors, I simply can't read it again, even to repair it. So, I ...

Re: The Daily Onion: Northern Blair's Finest News Source

I am always curious as to why people who would never vote for the person who has just been elected suddenly feel a need to "Support" them. Certainly they will never be aware that we support them or even if we do not. I sincerely believe it is disingenuous to think for a minute that any of ...

Re: The Man With No Brain: Part Three:

Thanks Watcher for the response.. I have posted these and other stories on a lot of different forums....I am currently working on a Western that William W. Johnstone read a few months ago. My last correspondence with him was when he wrote that, "Norm, I am printing it out now and will read it o...

Re: Things I Miss About Tyrone

I miss sitting/standing in my old tree stand in Hundred Springs and listening for the 7 o'clock whistle and the one at 4.....

Mostly, I miss everything and everyone that isn't there anymore....
I guess you can go home again, but it isn't ever really home anymore.... :fogey:

Sheesh, my ears hurt way out here in Montana... :D There are many windmills in the western states. I do agree that the states that have A LOT of them look and sound bad.....

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain

We have some outside of Livingston, Montana that work quite well. They are intrusive and stand out for miles, but out here we have the room for them. If the wind does not blow, they do not create any power....They only produce electricity if the turbines are turning.. I don't believe there is a way ...
