But they still had to go and hire a non-bullriding CEO to get to where they are. And any bull rider with a smart idea ended up out of the organization. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

In reply to: Hap 's message, "I consider Troy more trick rider than bull rider and Larry has done well since he last rode and I consider him a businessman himself these days. Donnie probably has as much insight as anybody as far as I know. Bullriders are pretty smart, they had enough smarts to break off on their own and fill their own pockets." on 09:19:10 02/25/07 Sun

The smartest man I currently know lives about 3 miles around the corner from me. I call him half cowman and half politician. He has 300 acres and runs cows on the land, plus has a couple of old houses on it. He convinced the county commissioners that his land needed to be preserved from the land developers. So he worked out an agreement. He and his heirs can live on the land and work the land for as long as they want. They also have the right to sell it, but only to another agriculture person who has to go by the same rules of not developing the land. They gave him a check last week for this agreement in the amount of 12 million dollars. Maybe the office should contact him. (NT) -- Varmit, 13:27:11 02/26/07 Mon
- Reckon that deal will work twice? Go for it. It's amazing some of the stories that a guy hears. The young lady that walks with my wife a few nights a week told her that her mother in law gets paid by the gov't to prepare a meal for her grand kids after school and gets paid to watch them till their parents get off work. This has gone on for years, (four families of grand kids) and the thing is, they all live within walking distance and she never sees those kids except for when they wave as they are walking to their own homes. Some are teens who play sports and get home later than their parents. She even qualifies for SS when she " retires" and never worked a day in her life. (NT) -- Hap, 18:50:00 03/02/07 Fri
