Had to cover a speech by the U.S. Ag Sec. here in town yesterday. Darndest, coldest blusteriest day of the year so far. Sick with a head cold-nose running, eyes watering; right ear stopped up. I could only hope I hear him right when he said "If you ate today, you should go out and hug a farmer." That the way I quoted him and no complaints, yet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-1163717477257786962006-11-16T17:51:00.000-05:002006-11-16T17:51:00.000-05:00MoMadness,Glad you got something out of it!As for ...MoMadness,<BR/>Glad you got something out of it!<BR/>As for larn, I thought you were just being creative :)R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-1163698100984642542006-11-16T12:28:00.000-05:002006-11-16T12:28:00.000-05:00My editor would probably love it if I would learn ...My editor would probably love it if I would learn how to spell; course then he might be out of a job!

And they're such tidy little things.<BR/><BR/>Did you know cows give about a 100# of milk a day if they're doing they're modern dairy farm part for society? You probably did.
