It was so sad to see Notre Dame Cathedral burn. We visited it several times. There are magnificent churches in Cologne, Germany, Reims and Chartres, France. There is a picture to the Cologne cathedral in the photo forum. While it might have been seen as excessive to have spent so much...

Back about 25 years ago, I was partnering with my brother Jack in a small cattle operation. I helped him with the haying and feeding and I was allowed to keep about 20 cows on his ranch in Colorado. We had bought some 90 first calf heifers from the sale barn in Limon, Colorado...

There are a lot of comments on this forum that are hoping that Trump will drain the swamp. This is NOT going to happen - EVER!! I owned and operated a sizable cattle ranch in Eastern Colorado for some time. I left a decent job with a large oil company at the age of 49. I bought this ranch...

Anyone who thinks that Obama Care is finished should hedge their bets. Social Security was passed in 1937 and has grown past all expectations ever since. You could repeal sunshine easier than cutting Social Security. Medicare came about in the early 1960s and has grown by leaps and bounds...

Got our new social security letter today. For the two of us, the amount withheld from our social security is $604.20 per month or $7,250.40 annually. In 2008, the year Obama took office, the same figures were $244.40 per month or 2932.80. That is an increase of 147%. Not very...

I noticed that Ted Cruz has been awarded all 37 of our Colorado delegates. I have been a registered republican for about 60 years. We had no primary, caucus or anything else that allowed the average republican to participate in allocation of delegates. Nothing. The only contact we have had...

My neighbor got enthused about old John Deere tractors and bought a 1930 something model A which he was working on. He had it parked near his house on a trailer when, for no apparent reason, one of the rear tires blew out. It had ballast in it thoroughky covered one side of his house. Had to...

Beohner announced today that he was resigning and leaving the House. Though not my favorite, it will split the party and, most likely hand the government to the democrats next year. I guess the Tea Party will get changes, but not what they want. CP

I didn't want to divert the thread where this first appeared. You would have to stay up a lot of nights to figure something this dumb. UPS and FEDEX drive by our driveway several times a day on their way to DirecTV which is half a mile away. All of a sudden, instead of dropping off our...

Today, they had a school lockdown because there was a large black bear on the school grounds. This was in a city. I have noticed that there were no chokecherries, wild plums or currants on the bushes. I also have noticed there are no acorns on our gambel/jackknife oaks this year. Bears gorge...

Malcolm, What happened to Political Bull/ Also. the indicator showed I had a private message, but I was never able to access it. CP

It probably is not a good thing to enter 2048 in your browser!! CP

A few weeks ago, a rancher in Colorado loaded 29 fat open cows in a cattle pot and headed towards the auction. The truck got less that a quarter mile before it crossed some railroad tracks -- at the same time as a coal train . Truck was destroyed, 19 cows killed outright three more had to be...

I don't know how accurate this is. EIGHT QUOTES FROM 8 DIFFERENT BOOKS Sorry about the language but these are her actual words. (1) "Where is the G*damn flag? I want the G*damn f**king flag up every morning at f**king sunrise." From the book "Inside the White House" by Ronald Kessler...

I received a request from the Bevin campaign to contribute to defeat Mitch McConnel in the Republican primary this year. Apparently, McConnell is too liberal for this faction of the party. Boehner and McConnell do as good a job as they can in the situation the country finds itself in. With...

I am not too thrilled with Chris, BUT the guy can attract votes from everyone. If he was elected, congressional republicans would be able to control his agenda. As it is now. they don't have anything to say about what goes on. He has the best chance of beating whoever the democrats roll out. CP

Just got my 2012 return back from the CPA. I knew I was going to owe them money, but was a bit surprised by the amount. Noticed they had entered a long term gain as a short term gain - difference is about $5000 in tax. It is still a manual process to enter data, but the professionals have a...

I must be getting old, but a lot of things aren't as good as they were including: Smoked hams - now hams are mostly made with liquid smoke and aren't as flavorful as they were. Apples - Apples sold in stores are hard as hell, have a skin like leather and aren't much of a pleasure to eat...

In 1937, my parents bought a 1520 acre ranch in Colorado. The price was $10,000. A couple of years later they bought another 160 acres for $2100. They had five children, two of which were boys. Father was of German ancestry and the tradition was that the land would go to the oldest son. Also...
