A pick on Oris day
Today will go down in history as the Pick on Oris Day. Patsy and I had not seen Connie Rossignol in seven years. Connie and Suzanne (who doesn’t have a last name but is a member of the Mammoth list) trailered up from New Mexico to purchase two Mammoth jennets from Tanya and Jon Tourjee. [...]
Edumacation is like Education only Funner
I heard about good eats. They’re food with scientific explanations. I work at home. It’s a good thing, I can’t work anywhere’s else. I have a good family life. My family tree is growing at both ends, like ancestry. If you want to get published, write a book. Those are bits of advise from the [...]

The Different Colors of Pink
Some say pink is puooky! (my new word for today). Down the back roads of yesterday, men certainly didn’t wear the color. And I know that Charger is usually in the ‘pink of things’ when she’s clicking out her keys at some 120 wpm. My favorite color is the pink that paints the skies morning [...]
Elmer Coyote
I found this letter tacked to the back door today. Dear Mr. Oris George, This letter is to advise you of our intentions along the river. The area includes your little farm. As you may have noticed, spring is approaching. We of the coyote community have been howling at night, a little more than usual. [...]
Mr. Melvin Coyote
Last night, one of the local coyotes, who once in a while leaves a deposit in our backyard to let us know what he thinks of us, tacked a note on the back door. The note reads: We, of the Mule Train Acres Coyote Community, held a meeting two nights ago. It was decided to [...]
