Would it be possible to find some other way to point out the costs of the war in Iraq? I ask because you see the Java that that little ditty uses makes the processor on computers displaying your blog pages work overtime. This burns more electricity thus contributing to the dependency on oil. All those little CRU add up and be for you know it we’ll need to sink a new oil well just to support this little demonstration. Okay, well maybe it isn’t that bad but that script is hard on older computers, does really waste electricity and processing power and is distracting on the page making it hard to read other text for those of use who are easily distracted. Any chance of making it not count but just display a static image? If you changed the script so the counting line is like this

inc_totals_at_rate(5000);

it will update about every five seconds thus burning less electricity.

Thats really the kind of rain we need to run the grazing system properly here in the hill country. The old timers plowed a lot of the hill sides and there is now no top soil to speak of. Some call it “hard pan” others call it “hill dirt”. Whatever you call it, it don’t hold water. Steady rain every week is needed. We are starting to see a little improvement in the land here. It will be sveral generations of stewardship before we have soil again.

Greetings Scott,

It seems as though drought has been sporadic throughout the nation. I wish I could send you some of the rain we have had this year, over 27 inches since June 1st and most of it spread out pretty well. There are some places just a few hours south of here that has received very little rain at all this year. I am encouraged by your peaceful determination to persevere through whatever the LORD sends your way.

Thanks Caleb. I enjoy your blog as well. It is young men like yourself that give me hope for the future! As a postmill man, I always have the “long term hope”, but is refreshing to see folks such as yourself that will be fighting the battles that God has provided for the current generation.

Trapping North America Furbearers is a wonderful old book. I have been reading a chapter a day to my son. Lots of great timeless info on trapping. It was written in 1940 and covers a lot of stuff. I would highly recomend it to all.

Sorry to hear about the drought Scott. We were so close to having a disaster here but it ended in the nick of time. Still fell short on alot of things.
