December 6, 2026 Well it looks like today will be another day of the wind speed and the temperature matching. On such days, I wish the temperature wasn’t going to be so nice. I spent the last two days of December looking for a bugle cow because my license expired the end of the month.…

December 5, 2026 4 a.m. and 42 degrees, our weather is broken. This is January, we should be seeing temps with a minus in front of them and the ground covered with several inches of snow. I’m not complaining about the temps though, I sure enough enjoy wearing a vest rather than a parka, but…

January 3, 2026 4 a.m., 35 degrees, looking at 55 for a high. I reckon when the sun wakes up, the wind will as well. I’m excited about this first Saturday of a new year because tomorrow is Sunday, my favorite day of the week. There was a day when Sunday meant that we would…

January 2, 2026 On this date in 1949 the Midwest woke to what would later be termed, “The Blizzard of the Century! In most places the wind roared at a constant 60+ miles per hour. The snow clouds dumped a constant barrage of snow, blotting out the sun, moon and stars for hours upon long…

December 30, 2025 The thermometer reads 24 degrees at 4 a.m. We are aiming at 45 for today’s high, with a NW breeze. I hope to leave the house soon to go look for a bugle cow. My tag expires tomorrow evening, so it’s down to the wire. The date carried the same date as…

December 29, 2025 Greetings! I trust you and your family enjoyed a great day of worship and fellowship yesterday. Miss Deb and I sure enjoyed the morning with our church family. Then in the afternoon we were blessed to have a great visit with the young couple who are planting a church in Baggs, Wyoming.…

December 28, 2025 We have a whopping 6 degrees at 3:30 a.m., headed for a blazing 20 as today’s high reading. Couple that with a stiff 25 mph wind and you get “Man, it’s cold out there!” On this last Sunday of 2025, I would like for us to visit about the power of positive…

December 27, 2025 Over the last few days, Miss Deb and I have found ourselves on the road. As we traveled across Wyoming and South Dakota I noticed one consistent element of the landscape that concerns me, overgrazing. I know, with the drought conditions of the Midwest, it is difficult to not attempt to get…
